If you are going to learn via academic setting remember to get friends who speak it (there are language schools for people who want to learn English, volunteer there and it's free conversation instruction).

So I am considering using vinyl planks over laminate.The first property is going to be a long term rental in a great school district.

This is an active rental area with young families due to the good schools, decent rent prices and nice community with plenty of activities and local pool, skate park, tennis courts, shopping, etc.Homes still rent in the summer, if you are looking for a year round renter.

"fluffing" is a term used in the adult industry - and while its certain some people expect an agent to perform this service in the course of a deal, it isn't a subject that is taught in re school, nor does the term appear anywhere in the code of ethics.

I'd love to get your knowledge.Studying is great (feel free to check out my website if you're interested in rehabbing), but eventually you'll need to get out there and gain some real-world experience...and you're going to need to devote some time to that...When you're ready to start getting real-world experience, I highly recommend finding a successful investor doing whatever it is you want to do, and offer to work for him/her for free for 6 months -- even if it means getting coffee, doing errands or whatever -- in return for them training/teaching you.People think it's perfectly reasonable to go to school for many years to learn the ins and outs of their trade/career, yet can't seem to fathom spending 6 months devoting their time interning for free to gain real world experience.

At my day job, in my investments, in school and in my personal life, it is often those answers to questions that I did not ask that are the most helpful.

It's a very blue collar neighborhood in a zip code that's primarily upper-middle class with good schools.

I am not too concerned about the down payment as cash is not an issue, but I want to finance this place and I would like to know my optimal route for doing so.Here's the thing: I am one year out of school and have about 11 months of income history.
