I dropped out of college 7 years ago to work 5-7 days a week at a dead end tip-based job (Casino Dealer, not Exotic Dancer).

I've virtually no experience and will give back what I can when I acquire but appreciate all the good things you all so willingly share.My Brazilian fiancé lands in the US in 2 weeks to live (and for us to get married) and I'd love to also introduce her to the world of REI.I suppose that's all for now.

After seeking out and following advice from "experienced" professionals, I ended up making virtually every mistake possible. 

I love virtually taking walks through the neighborhood with Google Maps, I subscribe to the Wichita Falls online paper, they list Matter of Record like deed recordings with the price paid or what's owed if its a repo, just one more piece to ponder in the puzzle.Also im googling owners names, and I do find out more than I had planned..I do feel like a stalker sometimes..lolAnd It is NOT to late!!!   

I work virtually and have never been to a closing.

The portfolio is fully tenanted with great cash flow and has a long history of performance with virtually no deferred maintenance.

If it is a vacation rental and its on the water  you may want to consider log cabin style siding for it  - could really make it pop -  perhaps vinyl may be the way to go as specified earlier - it would last long with virtually zero maintenance though it costs a little more up front

Bigger Pockets Family - So there's this rumor floating around about finding 2 or more investors -AT ONE TIME - being virtually impossible.

Hello, my name is Christian I am a Virtualization Architect by trade, but I have always loved the Real Estate business, one could say I do real estate investing on the side, but sometimes I end up spending many hours in Realestate, and loving it.I currently own rental property in Lakeland and Winterhaven we started our investment activities around 2003, my wife is a Realestate agent, so that helps us to find good deals.

I need to find a virtual assistant to answer calls from sellers responding to ad and to get information from them.
