As long as you surround yourself with the right people and the positive energy, you will grow as fast as I did.

Unless the property has phenomenal positive cash flow I would pass on any property that does not already have total seperate tenant paid utilities.

I'm not constricted in terms of location since I'm in a position to relocate based on the market I would like to invest in. 

The local zoning attorney who you see on a lot of cases online for the government website or in the newspaper generally knows the odds of success and how the local body sees things.

I'm suppose to take over a landlord position on a home from my father, but the people who live there don't really know how to use a computer.

Wanted to know a good place to look. My mother is a realtor so she has access to TREND but I’d like to look on my own time.

Account Closed, I'm not a CPA or tax lawyer, but as I understand it you can't offset earned income over a certain point (I think $125-150k/year, not positive).

Prior to that, you may be able to get a loan based upon the appraised value, but it will typically be at a lower LTV which will basically put you in the same position as if it were based upon purchase price.

Otherwise refinance to pull out every dime, assuming it will cash flow, and rent it out.If it will not cash flow positive with maximum leverage you should be selling anyway.
