Some basic strategies I know of are wholesaling, sandwich, and mobile home contracts.Also, what are good Exit strategies for young investors?

Right now I don't have the funds to match, but do know the market better and have a solid understanding of the basics.

The corporate life is becoming very monontonous and way to political these days so I am taking the plunge to learn a bit more about REI to hopefully someday (soon) make a leap and fulfill a dream.My experience is limited to a few books, some great reads here on the BP forums, growing up in a DIY family (so I am pretty confident in basic carpentry), and priding myself with common sense.

We are basically a sanctuary for illegals as well.

I'd grab that Section 8 tenant ASAP.The deal looks solid.Did you account for at least $150/month (my number) for maintenance, basic operations (lawns and snow) and big ticket repairs?

I plunged the toilet and changed the fill valve, which is a basic repair that a homeowner should know how to do.Normally a fully running toilet makes noise, but in this case it was almost fully off, but no quite, so it made no noise but was sending a few ounces of water into the bowl ever minute or two, until it was full and overflowed.If it is a rocking toilet, tighten the bolts until firm.

This concept would force me to really focus hard on what the demographic would say even more so.

Even the bad lawyers know how to do a basic asset search and prepare discovery documents requiring asset disclosure.

I'm with @Steven Stokes on the concept that sometimes good deals hide in plain sight.

Just go in there with an open mind to what I'm pretty sure will be some very conventional concepts.
