As long as I keep the account open for 2 yrs, I won't be liable for the closing costs.Keep us up to date on your progress.....

What kind of tenant requirements have you all used in class B properties that have been successful or unsuccessful.I'm thinking at least two years steady employment, three times rent for income and credit over 700.  

However, if there interest rates rise the prices will normalize and expect a steady growth and I wouldn't expect crazy property appreciation. 5. 

What i'm looking for is the chance to observe and learn from a Flip in progress.

I'm aware condos won't appreciate that much, but for me it would be mainly just a place to settle down so as long as the prices remain steady I'm good.My other option is to invest into a couple of less expensive places in a city with a healthy rental market and just live abroad for a year or two.  

For years I've been try to find or start my own business, but it's tough to leave a steady paycheck to hope and wonder if any of my crazy ideas would provide the necessary income to have a comfortable life.

IMO, it is better to take real estate investment slow and steady than risk more than you can lose. 

The coaching also helped keep me motivated and accountable with my progress.  

I have a steady well-paying job and good credit but my DTI is quite high (currently owe one years salary in student debt).

And or if I want to make a fee I broker it with my licenses.What I think is really hurting the industry and or the quasi profession of wholesaling is unleashing these newbie type folks who then use weasel clauses and just sling stuff up on the wall hoping something will stick.. god for bid they risk 1,000 dollars of EM.I see RE as being a progression of knowledge and I understand folks have to start somewhere but I for one have zero interest in going through one's learning curve.Just like your core competency of tax sales etc..
