The location is very good and the unit is easy to rent although the building construction is average (built in 1975).

numbers are easy (once you truly understand them). in my experience, it's the information-gathering that is a big challenge.

Real estate is hard, hard work, and not an easy ride.

I know it is easy,if you put together the correct team, but how do you know John Doe with the best investment opertunity isn't Joe Scamer?

3br/ 1 brm - 63K/ 10% down owner moving out of town claims that it can rented out for $900-1000 easy. lets be conservative and say it rents for $800.i would need to finance the place with a high 8% loan.my monthly would be about:$416/ loan$160/ assoc fees$73/ mo taxes_______________$649$6300/ %10 down$1200 for closing cost-$700 seller is putting in.------------------------------$6800 investment/ ConC return $1812 %26 percentdoes this sound good at all?

It kind of concerned me that it was so easy.

I have easy access to Charlotte, NC as well as (GROWING DAILY) Greensboro, NC.

Lots of investment opportunities here too for anyone that is interested :)I'd just like to buy my first house, but it isn't easy :(

those that get into rei but then drop off - they weren't ready and the truth is, they probably never will.i don't care who you are, if you think or say that rei is "easy", that's just ridiculous.

It really sucks when you have an easy 15K or 20K sitting on the table, and the deal slips through your fingers.Actually I learned some strong lessons about this when I did my first apartment rehab.
