"horses for courses".

I like to think of this in terms of race cars.

IMHO that's why CA is so broke as a state. they are too high on their horses to let this market take its course and go through what it must go through in order to recover.as a "bulk buying bottom feeder", were paying over 50 cents in CA. it makes sense that buying 1 or 2 at a time would put you in the 75-80 range.as an investor, i say hold in CA. don't buy yet. their crap smells as bad as anyone else in GA and OH and their market will still get rocked.jeff

Plus with the Presidential race happening this year, that's all I can say.

Once you really know the market you will be very confident when you spot a deal.REI is a long term race so moving forward is important.

$525 positive cashflow a month is not bad. 10 of those deals in your lifetime and you will be out of the rat race.

The key to that is to have your RE income exceed your expenses.If you ever play the Kiyosaki game of Cashflow 101, you know that to exit the "rat race" you have to have your passive income exceed your expenses.Seems simple right?

I'm big on drag racing and it is a passion of mine outside of real estate.I buy, build, barter, sell, and race street cars.

Perhaps you have the cart in front of the horse?

I have actually never paid for an app :) I transferred weather bug elite, tiger woods golf, some racing game etc from my brother's iPhone (for some reason apple allows this??
