I have yet to figure out all of the details, but I want to keep the ball rolling on investments so that I have enough money by the end of 2008 to quit my job and be a stay at home mom.

One of the major benefits is qualifying as a real estate professional and i still havent had a chance to get all the details on that until i speak with someone with a CPA.

Everything is in place...I can forward on an attachment with all the townhome details if interested.ThanksJeff

She and I talk about investing everyday and she said "Listen next property I come across in 60k-80k range, I will finance it in my name, put both of our names on the house and we will paint, put laminate floors in and sell it in a few months and split the profits" ..She Obviously went more into detail but the only reason she is doing this is to help me get into it..
