I go to school nights, and I'm applying for a position as an electrical instructor. 

We are actually GC's, developers and brokers/agents, and our son in law is an electrical contractor, our son does project management, site and architectural design, so we have a lot of things covered.

If After paying rent , auto ins, electric and water you only have $15per day to feed, clothe and entertain yourself and 3 kids it's not going to work.

I did a lot of the work myself- electric, cabinets, flooring, windows, doors, trim, etc. and lived in it for 2 years after building.

i didn't think the guy would go for it b/c someone started to rehab already and just had to stop work on it for whatever reason so the electric was upraded already, about 55% of the walls were done and painted. i also didn't think the guy would go for it b/c i thought i screwed up by telling him i was planning to wholesale. but i've never done this before so i was trusting the person who has done this before.

Rented it today for $1350 and am so happy all of the carrying costs/water bills/electricity bills/ etc. will end July 1.

You couldn't give me a place that was ALL ELECTRIC in Houston, I wanted (or added when the time came) archetectural roof shingles (look better), ceramic tile, decent carpet and pad etc.Learn to do the work yourself.

The electric company doesn't come to your house to pick up their check - neither do the credit card companies or anyone else for that matter.

Welll... i just recently recieved a nice chunk of change(50,000) from a bad auto-mobile accident i got in a few years ago... i just turned 20.. i've got a good job... and have been planning on investing my money in real estate ever since i thought i might be getting some...I'm thinking about maybe flipping some property...but I'm just trying to figure out a safe way to jump into this.....

My initial education is as an Electrical Engineer with a specialty in Computer Architecture.
