I started a property maintenance business of my own (self-employed, essentially just 'giving myself a job') for about a year, a few years ago (part time).If I stop trucking full time, which I could see happening in a couple years, I would also strongly consider starting a property management company as long as whatever area I am involved in has a need for a QUALITY PM company (it sounds like many areas are, in general).I have always had a tenacious work ethic and love building wealth.

I'm Vince, a fledging entrepreneur dedicated to achieving financial freedom and a life of fun through real estate investing, ethical business, and becoming a value-giving member of the community, while teaching others how to follow suit!

They have ethics and rules they are bound by. 

I am getting pretty convinced that this ethical approach (not to say other approaches are unethical) is a great way to do business and help people in need, too.

Having said all that, I attended a local REI meeting last night and our REI president is working with our Attorney General (AG) so that investors can continue to work short sale ethically and legally.

from my understanding, it IS infact legal...ethical?

As experts in real estate and licensees, they are expected to operate ethically and using their local knowledge of their markets against the lender is considered unfair practises.

Then you have to have confidence that you are acting in a legal, professional and ethical way.

It is so unfortunate some don't have as strong a work ethic as they should... families lives are hanging in the balance here!

Several different Porsche turbos, 3 airplanes for the wifey, lots of travel etc.     I was young enough that I always felt if problems developed, I could do it again.Bryan- no inherited money for me but a tremendous work ethic handed down from my dad.
