Like you say Bryon, with cash reserves you can do things those without might think twice about.I don't think you need to count on appreciation...you just need:1.

Tony with that 50k in Orlando why not go and buy with all that cash,in my opinion i wouldnt go after the deal with it being you're paying that much for a quad,also in my opinion never count on an area going up or thriving.I'd check into other similar properties near by before i'd go in contract

That can be a messy and time consuming process, and I wouldn't count on cooperation from the three ex (I assume) wives.

Six more banks failed today (4/15/2011) ..... or should I say were closed by the FDIC.Two in Alabama, two in Georgia, one in Mississippi and one in Minnesota.Brings the total bank failure count to 34 with Georgia way out ahead of the pack with 8.In 2010, 157 banks failed.

But I'm giving it my best shot, and thats what counts right?

Do not count rents toward purchase.

All I want to do is find the seller and sell my contract to the buyert I do not want to collect the monthly income and hold the buyer hand and count rent credits should I look at a lease option friendly state since it can be done virtually?

Hoas do not normally reduce the amount due, for any reason, so don't count on it.

I used to count on doing business with Mitch, and the fact is now that he knows what he knows, he is not in much need for my services.As Mitch mentioned, he is working with private investors.

Even though I easily spent more than 750 hours last year on real estate investing, it is still counted as passive activity because of our W-2's.Does anyone else have this same experience?
