@Eric Renney I do not have an answer to this at all but I am fascinated by it.  

We are even considering taking a real estate class or something similar to speed up our learning curve.Im actually flirting with the idea of a new career with more potential for our future, something that we could carry on/for our retirement.I've been always fascinated about real estate, but my only experience so far, was buying the house that we are actually living (for the last 8 years with 1bed 1 bath) that is still upside down (and yes, we are still traumatized, lol lol lol).Many plans for our future (including kids) but not really knowing how to start with our 9-5's, but learning before anything else sounds like a good start (at least for me).Great site guys and thank you once again for all this compiled information for my thirst mind : )

Real estatr has been my passion since childhood as i can remember watching the tv show "Americas Castles" and just being in complete awe of the architecture and design and even more fascinated with the contractors who turned these drawings in to real, tangible structures.

Whenever I start talking about merging condo titles or states that allow HOA super-liens my family tends to change the subject... maybe they are scared to admit how fascinated they are.I agree that you could cut some expenses but even in your better case scenario $455/floor/month is nothing to get excited about.

I ran across this commentary on Dodd Frank and how it affects owner finance from a RMLO in a linkedin group. Just thought I would post it for discussion. Thanks. https://www.linkedin.com/grp/post/8307186-6015099201514...
