Keep that desire for the life you want strong and be persistent!

Thought I'd share this one as it's a little juicy. 13354 La Venta Poway, CA 92064ARV - $480,000-$500,000 Repairs - $40,000-$50,000Sold for $370,000Buyer was stoked on the deal, very desirable house due to its location (great schools) being at the end of a court and a really cool layout.

I have a desire to invest and rehab properties while at the same time accumulating a half dozen rentals for my family over the next few years. 

If you have a strong desire to learn, a positive attitude, ability to take rejection, and a "do whatever it takes" attitude you can do it.

You can do lease option or subject 2 if the property is DESIRABLE or needs minimal repairs.If the property needs work and its upside down, its pretty much dead.

Tons of awesome people in this site who are willing/desire to be of service.

My reason for desiring to enter real-estate is to give me more financial freedom and flexibility as well as the opportunity to one day hopefully be my own boss.Again, I appreciate all of the great information coming from this site!

That $200 gave me the desire to learn everything I could about investing.

And that's without mentioning how you can also allocate trash costs should you desire.
