Its all about my ten year goal of building a nice monthly income stream that investing 1.2 million will never produce in that same time frame.Any thought - suggestions - blueprints of what you have done???

The 'free" version is no more than excuse for them to constantly hound you to upgrade.

This constant searching and researching on the MLS also gave me a pretty good grasp on the market around here so I feel that the "unsuccessful" search was actually a blessing in disguise.

My long term goal for REI is to purchase mainly multi-family homes/apartment buildings and rent them out and have a steady stream of passive income so that I can focus primarily on REI, instead of the normal 9-5 job.

Do you have to constantly go by the property and make sure it is free of debris, or how does that work?

If possible I would like to source a block of land which has an existing dwelling that could provide an income stream I have studied council bylaws to learn about zoning and sub-division requirements in each respective zoning category, become familiar with the local council resources including looking interactive maps that show precedence for re-zoning approvals.

Totally owner finance the note gives them the highest price.The far away owners need to decide if they want all cash now,more cash and a small income stream,or little to no cash now and a larger income stream with a higher purchase price down the road.

Kids are constantly getting hurt.

Though I've come to a different conclusion.We are constantly making changes to our marketing and sales methodologies.

Hopefully you will use that to create some sort of income stream that will support you when the money runs out.Personally, if I had ONLY, and I do mean ONLY, $1.2 million in assets and cash and I wanted to work minimally I would NOT be looking at $800K houses.
