By renting to them you are helping people who are established felons, actively breaking the law.

We have been reading and learning and this past weekend we attended a seminar that introduced us to a few more streams of income.

On your weekends pick an area and drive so you can see what other Investors are doing.

Being an "active" investor versus a "passive" investor, which is where the 750 hour mark comes from, will allow you to carry over losses in real estate to compensate for other gains.

I ended up working 18 hour days all weekend but I'm back on track, I'm getting closer to finish, and I finally get a few days off so the hardwood guys can do their thing.

However, during my 30s and early 40s I spent a lot of evenings and weekends painting, roofing and other "fun" things.During those years my friends always said, "you're sure lucky to have those rental houses", although they didn't realize I wasn't making anything/very little from the properties back then.

Here's the official word back:Per ORS 696.010 (11) "Professional real estate activity" (j); the person you pay a fee to would be doing professional real estate activity without a license.

Andy, Ichiro, amp and Jurni lets get together next weekend, on or own terms, I am not sure about the RE clubs (meaning how efficient they are).

I just don't know how financially sound of a decision it is, but I like to see the activity downtown.

I'll make sure we sit down this weekend and schedule a field trip.Thanks again!
