Many people have a narrow view of things based on specific or limited experience.

Hence you can skip the meetings and still keep in touch with people.BP and other resources are great for a high level view.

After reading Lonnie Scruggs' books my view on the idea is that either by virtue of a higher rent/retail ratio or by carrying the note yourself with a higher interest rate than the bank you can set yourself up to profit more with the same amount of capital than you would be able to if you bought a single house in suburbia.

Just spoke to the real estate agent i was supposed to meet with today to view the property from deal #1 she said it was no longer available but fannie mae reps. say it is.. oh well im off to search for my next property.

Take a long term view, buy what you know, buy the broader market, but by all means buy!

The principal payment of the mortgage is NOT viewed as an expense.2.

Let me explain my point of view.

I'm interested in real-estate market down here, but I'm bit tired reading same opinions in local press, so I'd like to discover new point of view here.
