I want to create a residual income so I can spend good quality time with my children! 

I want to create a stable financial future for myself while finishing my service time.

I create multiple offers to just about every lead I speak with and get a number of properties with owner financing. 

Please reply with anyone you've worked with and was happy with their results in the following areas of work:Framer carpenter (I need a wall cut out to create a counter top bar between kitchen & dining room)Kitchen/Bath Cabinets (refinished on one wall & new ones installed on the other)Tile (shower surround and kitchen back splash)Granite Counter top installationPainter (paint full 2 br/bth condo, all walls & ceilings, framework, & possibly fireplace and cabinets)I appreciate your help in advance!

If off market I search local county tax record for owner and send one of three letters; individual, LLC, or REO.

Each market is different though as are individual goals.

This of course raised the concern that they probably offer their better deals to institutional investors and the more riskier ones to individuals.  

Also, create an execl spreed sheet and update monthly to tract expenses, income, mileage etc....You could also look in BP file place to find someone else's tracking sheets.

I will admit it – I was hungry- I wanted more but I didn’t have the skills or experience to do it on my own, I didn’t want another job - I was sacred –  I was sold on all the propaganda about real estate riches and continued to search for that magic formula.That was over 40 years ago - as I think back about all those programs - I realized that my intuition, creativity, imagination or the pure synergism of all that information enable me to create hybrid formulas of my own – formulas that helped me avoid conventional financing, credit approvals, cash down payments, real estate agents, gate keeps and those others who wanted to delay my progress of making money in real estate.

you EAT the decisions of the PM and have liability for the results.With absentee ownership, you may have no choice but to use a PM, but 19yrs being 2hrs , 120 miles away, I created a local team to do the heavy lifting and I did the screening and decision making - - seems to have worked out well (see profile).
