Sarah finds the perfect property, located nearher home—a garden-style fourplex in a great neighborhood thatneeds some new paint, carpet, and better management.

To be a investor starting out the first thing you must do is make investing a priority in your life, do without, change your life style, downsize, live more frugally and save every penny possible.

I'd also like to change the color of the cabinets to something more in todays style of colors. 

Not sure if you have them in the Philippines but I would highly recommend this style water heater as it would work even more efficiently in your climate.

With your last comment at the bottom are you saying that it may be best to test out 2 different "styles" of postcards and seeing which one works best?

We're going to be doing both turn fix and flip and assembling a large portfolio of 1-4 unit properties in a REIT / Fund style vehicle.I'm looking to make connections with investors, Realtors, and wholesalers locally who I might be able to partner with and certainly learn more about the market.Thank You.

We ended up partnering 50/50 on the deal, and his father who has been looking to invest in real estate, acted as our private money lender so we could close quickly, in cash.Fast forward a few weeks later and I've just closed on an off market deal where we paid $15k below appraisal for a tenanted cash flowing SFR, started a partnership with a great friend who has a very complimentary skill set and work style to mine, and gained access to a private money lender with deep pockets.

There is also a meet up on Nov 13th in Fairborn at TJ Chumps.

For instance, I'm good at client management and Erin's good at mocking my personal style, so it works well ... ;)Seriously, even if it didn't work out, everything you ever read about successful people says you learn more from failure than from inaction.

Some use style of property say row houses, some use price range and some use a geographical area.
