Just wanted to hop in to say that I just finished reading Flipping Houses Exposed - it's excellent!

http://www.dallasnews.com/business/residential-rea...This is a good article from the Dallas Morning news on the housing market in North Texas.Dallas/Fort Worth (is that better Pam...lol) is still one of the best markets in the U.S. and will be for a long time to come, making it an excellent place to invest.

Additionally I had browsed the Lake Chelan vacation rentals called The Lookout which is being done by the same company.I attended an event and some 'typically rental income' numbers were provided but it was an Excel file that looked a little too basic to trust.Would love to hear about anyone's experience with this.  

I know them better than I want to, so here it goes -PROS -* Easy to pick up if you're missing a piece* Excellent value for hardware options.

excellent work, thanks for sharing

@ Chris Boyd,Excellent!  

Hi @Derek Anaeme, Welcome to BP.The crowdfunding websites are excellent places to diversify your portfolio, as long as you are comfortable with selecting a sponsor who will manage your property, rather than doing it yourself.

This seems to be an excellent site for garnering information. 

@Mike Dunn Excellent write up.

Can anyone recommend an online excel-type tool that would allow me to plug in financing terms for an apartment building to see what the loan paydown would be for each year?
