My biggest pet peeve: when he wants to go back outside again...after just having come in!  

@David Krulac Which is funny as 2008 is when we saw the biggest benefits of our real estate investment, when our stocks and 401K crashed and the world seemed very scary, but the one rental we had left at the time was still chugging away, paying us a check every month.  

One of the biggest questions is how much You should offer on a piece of property.

Enough to cover the biggest repair you might expect is better still.The problem with trying to break it down item by item is the temptation to cut her and there and then you're left at an overall number of 20% of gross rents.  

As the biggest city in the Sunshine State, Jacksonville has an exceptionally diverse economy, driven partially by the way that it is home to the second biggest port on the East Coast.

I can't recommend anyone specific in that area, but the biggest advice I always give to investors is to interview property managers and make sure you hire one who actively invests in real estate as well.

My two pieces of advice1) Let nothing stop you - Turn your biggest challenge into your biggest advocate!

One of the biggest issues I see is the market being flooded with newbies that are driving priced up and eliminating the margin.We have moved from non performing to buying low price band assets through a wholesaler and then selling with owner financing.  

It beats the 1% rule that I use in my FL market, it is at 1.4% and I will make a few hundred while getting to live in the biggest unit and renting out the other two.

I think Real Estate is by far the BEST investment vehicle available, safest and biggest returns due to leveraging and other tools.
