A few (and some more) performing notes in a Roth IRA account wouldn't hurt once we get the hang of it.I know you know what position you are after, but could help you in the eyes of others to narrow down what notes you are looking to acquire based on location, price range, % of UPB, owner occupied vs non owner occupied, condition of property, built of property, collateral (land, SFR, mobile home).Maybe you can pick a few states and locations and get it know the location; read up on the local market, any recent laws, redemption period, foreclosure times.I did the above and I believe it would help me cut down looking at assets that aren't in my highest interest if I were looking at multiple assets with little time to put in an offer.

If you have any questions or comments, or if you need a second set of eyes on a deal, just give me a shout..

I was just surprised they didnt see eye to eye with me on where I am putting my money.

I want to become "seasoned" in bank eyes also so I can expand to other areas down the road as I become more knowledgable and comfortable.Sounds great man.

I'm not saying don't buy a property just because it's near a military base, just go into it with eyes wide open. 

I got it two weeks ago, and it was really eye opening for me.I highly recommend it, 29 dollars, but good investment.

When I buy an older, outdated, run down and small home in a nice community, add size, build it new, and create a showpiece for the neighborhood, then sell it, I have created a great place for one family to live in (agree or not, I believe this is a solid benefit to the buyer), I have removed an eye sore and created a beauty for all the neighbors to look at, I have raised the value if everybody's home in that area, and I gave created larger property tax revenues for the city and state which funds schools, etc. 

I have been eyeing a few rental properties and duplexes in and around the city and found some of interest.
