That would be the minimum return.This area has showed 10% growth for the last three years, so there is the potential for the investor share of appreciation to be another $18,000.You have the potential to get $18,000 to $36,000 back with $1000 out of pocket.

And starting to look at yourself in a new light.Next thing you know here's what will happen....You'll be driving along in your truck "your a truck driver remember" ;-) and you'll see a book store, and you'll think to yourself "hmmmm, I'm gonna pull in there and see what real estate investing titles they have and maybe pick up one or two".

I was driving around today and found a home with a UHAUL in the driveway and a handwritten sign on a tree that said "make an offer and this just might be your new home."

I really do not want to drive there and back every time someone would like to see the place..

Because BOJ just hiked and I imagine will continue to do so, albeit gradually, given the growth rates Japan is seeing right now.

I'm noticing lots of new license plats as I drive to work everyday.

Drive looking for vacant/distressed properties.

Right now you should be turning your drive time though into study time.

I have NO experience in re but, I do have the drive and determination, as I do horse rescue and need something to fund it hahaha.
