Not really hard but like anything most make it hard

.- cash flow from the rent is my not my only income source. assume that no matter what i will be able to put money to buy a new rental at least every 2 years, taking the 12k+extra amount (whatever that my be)+loan (whatever down payment i decide to put)- regarding flipping - i don't mind the work involved in this process but as i am not living in the us, i find it hard to do flipping. at least not when starting out.

I’ve researched a lot and I keep hearing people say that being young in real estate makes it very hard to succeed, due to lack of experience .

During the last downturn, Boise was hit pretty hard with prices well below the cost to build.

i prefer cold hard cash.

As far as investing for cash flow, you would be VERY hard pressed to find something in Mt.

If it was that hard then no one would open a coffee shop...and we know that simply isn't the case.Do your due diligence.

And be ready for sales pitches, sometimes very hard pitches - a lot of groups are structured to market some program, software, etc.

This seemed hard to prove unless I devoted a lot of resource and time.
