Make sure you have enough money to sustain yourself (your own personal mortgage, food bills, etc) and pay for your project at the same time.

Most of that has to do with who we are as business people and entrepreneurs.My first program was Rich Dad (Kiyosaki) called Choose to Be Rich.

The point is that distressed areas have such prices because it is difficult to invest there, and areas that appreciated the most rapidly may well have peaked to unaffordable levels.I saw a podcast recently where it was claimed that high-end grocery stores like Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe's are a good indicator of a high-end neighborhood.

Food for thought. 

If I had a dollar for everyone time someone told me they were looking for “value add apartments” in a “good area” for a “good price” and then never follow up with me, I would be rich.

Cozy.co and rentec.com both offer free versions.There are more feature rich options which cost more.

As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order, there is no charge to attend.

I would let you claim me as a dependent on your taxes .I don’t require a lot of maintenance although I’m not very good at cleaning up after myself ( so my wife says) and I do eat a lot of food .

The people who treat this as a get-rich-quick venture are the ones that fade away and disappear here.

I have attended rich dad poor dad Seminars , read a few investing books .
