Thank you enjoy reading your post food for thought

My tenants are constantly asking for rides, small loans, money, food.

Food for thought: If one buys 50 books about real estate at say $15/book, you've then invested $750+ into your investing education, haven't you?

My success in this post was to highlight starting out towards financial freedom and what can be accomplished in a short time by focus and determination.  

Hi @Nhia YangOff topic.....But if you want to highlight a person who posted click  "Control" and "@" together then type the first four letters of the person in question.  

Be sure to highlight the interest earned over the term of the loan in dollars.Present both offers to seller.

For the past 6-8 months I have noticed an increasing volume of program highlights that reflect all sorts of more relaxed guidelines including Stated Income/Verified Assets (could be helpful if your credit scores are reasonable) and even No Doc loans are coming into vogue once again.

It should pop up with their picture, then you can click on it and it will highlight blue.After someone has written something you found useful or like.

However, that would mean living in the Richmond area (longer commute, some pretty sketchy neighborhoods, 1bdrm apt vs 3bdrm house...) and that is not including any other high cost of living expenses that come with living out there (ie. food, insurance, taxes...).

The highlighted 5 cities are: Raleigh Current: $200,300Cary Current: $306,700Garner Current: $163,700Clayton Current: $173,700Wake Forest Current: $269,000The annual change of 6% is the question mark in my mind, as is the viability of $163,700.
