It isn’t very often you find someone “real” who will take the time to brainstorm ideas based on his/her experience to further a goal, without asking anything in return which is what AJ did for me.

Taxes are really the killer for rental investments in the area though where most properties that are undervalued get purchased by homeowners looking for fixer uppers and outbid most rental investors unless your willing to sacrifice your returns a bit to have a rental in this quality of an area.

So, since it would appear that I am going to have to take a pay cut regardless of what I do, I figured it's time to look into a career change.I want to get into RE as I think it ties well with my analytical nature and I have an interest in building wealth above and beyond stock market returns. 

Have any checks/funds been returned for NSF?   

Also, I've calculated the cash-on-cash return for buying a property with cash for 65% of market value, and I can make the same return if I finance a purchase buying at 80% of market value.

Do you have tax returns that show you are earning money from other investments?

That written notice will transfer with the sale of the home so you can get the clock running as early as possible.You could give them the opportunity to clean up but I don't recommend it because they will eventually return to this squalor.
