I have always had a burning desire to invest in real estate and to own my own busines but felt I needed formal education or at least guidance from someone that knew what the harry heck they were talking about.

Unless it was completely dilapidated and you were going to have to tear it down anyway, that seems a bit silly.I mean, just the fact that someone burned it down adds enough worry to the situation that they should be happy to lower the price.

So keep your eyes peeled for the next generation of spammers hitting up BP Nation and together, we will burn them out too!

If you keep the seller's existing policy and add yourself as a co-insured then when the house burns down you won't be covered".

This is now 3 times I have accepted cash for either security deposit or rent and have gotten burned.

I am just trying to focus my energies on finding deals, and outsource the negotiations.

If you have the energy and can flip 4-6 houses within that month and can make $25,00-$30,000 or more that would be great.

New furnace 93% efficient, new AC unit, new railing, new energy efficient windows, updated electrical.

You post to not let the tenant do the work, so does that mean you mow the grass, take out the trash, change every burned out light bulb, clean the unit once a week, etc...?

Get a solid plan together so you channel that energy right then go do it.
