Next month I'm going over seas on a one year contract to rack up some cash, and maybe I'll start the real estate game when I come back, or when I get my leave.

I am not a seasoned investor.

Here's a couple of examples I quickly thought of:Loggia - screen porch or sometimes known as four seasons roomGallery - seen to describe a foyer or stairwayArts & Crafts Room - a storage room in the basement with no windowsJust thought it might be fun to see some of the names you have run accross or used in your dealings.

Things you will also run into is “seasoning” on how long you have owned them before you want to refinance them… Also, why are you using a hard money lender?

Performing Notes - The greatest stratgies for this if it is a performing note and they pay on time is to hold it and collect compound interest.Otherwise there are numerous companies looking to buy seasoned notes of two years or more that have an excellent payment history and good credit.Non-Performing NotesWhich are my favorite.

I see there are a few others on here from my local area...Some of which I know, and others that I have not met yet...I have no idea what to consider myself - I have had one rental property for about 10 years, and then I bought another about 2 years ago - but then bought 2 more within the past year & a half...so - seasoned - possibly...but definitely still learning...I am in a precarious position right now (middle of fairly ugly divorce) - with a 14 yr old teenager...who lives with (ok - being poisoned by) her mother...ok - enough about me...When this is finally over - I have goals of adding to my portfolio - after clearing out some "old luggage", so to speak.....My credit is still fantastic - and I will have some equity to use for financing - so hopefully in the next year - I will be speaking with a few of you wholesalers around my area.....Thanks - Looking forward to being an active participant....

So my question to the more seasoned members or anyone with insight into the real estate political issues-What are some of the issues I should be looking into as it relates to the real estate market?

Move out and let someone else pay a premium to live there during the peak season.

There are a few no title seasoning loan programs left, but the majority of lenders want 12 months on title.I can possibly help you depending on your responses to the above.Regards,Scott Miller
