After some investigation, I have discovered a program that will lend property owners up to $25,000 at 0% over 7 years to convert to natural gas.

You will likely have to do some things you are not really comfortable with (evicting tenants during the holidays, evicting people with small children, etc) but that is the nature of the business.

I have excellent knowledge but putting it in a writers style that some do is not my thing as much and doesn't come as natural for me then being on the forums does.

Landlord may enter the Leased Premises without prior noted in the event of an emergency such as, but not limited to the following: Fire, flooding, frozen water lines, natural disaster, or if, in Landlord’s reasonable estimation, a hazard involving life, health or safety exists or if the Leased Premises appear to have been abandoned by Tenant.

It's like a professional body builder that goes the natural route and steps on stage and places in the top 10, then does a cycle of steroids before the next contest and places higher.

Shorter term in nature, but typically yields for the note investor will be over 10%.

I determined the ARV to be around $575K, with no allowance for natural appreciation.

It's natural to feel it and be excited about what you're doing, you just can't let it be the primary driver, and especially not let it shut up that little voice that says stuff like "have I really done my homework on this place?".

We've since moved to Athens, about 30 miles away, into another house that we paid cash for and I'm going to be forced to rent the first one out b/c I don't want to sell it for a loss.Now, since I found biggerpockets, I've become intrigued in RE investing and am understanding a lot of things I've never contemplated before...ie. being a landlord is OK and maybe I shouldn't of bought the houses outright...Anyway, the old hindsight's 20-20 deal...A little about my wife and me: I'm a meter reader for a natural gas company and I'm also in the Air Force reserve, and she's an elementary music teacher.

The aspect of technology can play in too investing: For example for those that made a play in natural gas and oil 10 years ago maybe didnt know the Bakken reserve would explode and now it looks like natural gas is headed for the basement price wise.
