In summer I put a short sale under contract with the seller, awaiting a reaction from the bank.

I feel very fortunate to have learned about this site this summer while doing some REI research in my childhood hometown in Tennessee.

There are tons of available places in the Summer, then a crazy influx of applicants.

It's something I did this summer and, while there is a steep learning curve, the rewards are well worth the time and effort and cost it takes to put together.

My wife and I view this as an avenue for gaining financial independence.We purchased our first rental property this summer because we ultimately want to own long-term cash flow properties.

The joy of renting it in the summer it severely dampened because I pay heat in the winter.

A few unexpected things came up this summer that I am just now recovering from (water heater being one of them) or else I would have already been paying way more towards it.

My family owns a small mom & pop property management company and I spent summers working there.

I plan on changing this by summer of 14.I kick myself all the time for buying the new car but I used the money that I could have spent on the car to buy and renovate my current primary residence.

During the summer I had a couple large projects and worked about 16-18 hours a day, pretty much every day.
