Hi everyone, first post. 
I have been wanting to invest in real estate for 30 years. This week in my rat race commute I started listening to audio books about investing. I oddly enough started with Rich Dad, Poor Dad...

It’s important to balance cash-out refinance with maintaining healthy cash flow from rent.Mismanaging the Rehab Process:Delays in the rehab phase can eat into your profits.

This is the best entry point for a first time real estate investor because you will live right next door to the units while also managing.

I am working on a product that will help small-medium size landlords launch and maintain Internet presence at a small monthly cost without spending big budget on custom development.It will include: SEO, custom domain, direct syncing with your property management software, syncing with QB.

The buyer maintains the property and pays the mortgage.

The property has been in the same family for 30+ years and has been well maintained.
