What that typically means is that I will not make any repairs to the property.

So typically you're going to spend more money to get a deal.

Quick question:Quick question - How much total capital gains tax (both fed and state) would be for a property that I bought in 1997 for $500,000 and sold today for 1,000,000?

Recently, I’ve started to view my 15-mile training runs through nearby neighborhoods as a sort of prospecting method —a foot tour of sorts— helping me determine neighborhoods I might be interested in investing in.My goal with Bigger Pockets is simple — I hope to learn from other investors within the community, leverage the tools and resources to improve my ability analyze potential deals (to help my 40-something-year-old-self gain the confidence to do what my 20 something-year-old-self knew was possible long ago) and contribute to the community where I can with the experience I have.  

We handle all of our own printing and we save about 1/3rd of typical printing costs. 

I haven't begun investing on my own yet but I've gained experience working with other investors and I think I'm ready to take the leap.

With the knowledge that I seek to gain through experience, I hope to be able to one day give back to my community and teach others the things that I hope to learn.

Make small achievable goals and hit them out of the park, gain momentum and never look back.
