(Bookkeepers and accountants withOUT the CPA license are NOT who you should rely on for RE activities.)

The big question would be do you want to be Active in investing or do you want a passive investment.What many call real estate investing is really just a high paying Job.

Hey all,Ok I've been stalled for a while (well since I got my first triplex wich I still have), things are getting boring and I wanna get active again!

Around here, some neighborhoods are very active and some are completely dead except for REOs at fire sale prices.

Right now I'm in a really good position to help folks on the web snd prefer it as I'm not chasing and everybody loves me... less stress.

I came to a couple conclusions after sitting through her annoying seminar: One...she is probably not actively negotiating short sales but rather making all her money selling her boot camps and packets.

BTW, I just left TX after 30 years as an active investor.

Dad actively managed the property.

That's scary to a lot of folks...and they leave and don't come back unless they see some activity to improve that situation.

It is great having someone with your background here to participate in the community and I hope that you'll become an active member of the forums.
