Hear how you can apply the same principles and techniques he has used to achieve financial freedom.September 27, 2013 at 7;00PM, Spring Creek BBQ in Irving. 183/Beltline!

The experienced investors can help you realize what it will take and help you to realize the size of investments that may help you to achieve your goals.

All survived and all thrived.I am only a long-term investor.Primarily, I was taught debt could be very destructive and make achieving success much more challenging.

The tactic is helping me achieve my $100 per month expense reduction goal.I've created roughly $70 of savings since we started the challenged (that you won).

@Ashley Buckamneer How many houses will it take to achieve your $3,000 monthly cash flow?

Maybe at future events we would bring someone in that all the group sees as valuable, where specific questions could be asked by members of the group.I see it more as a roundtable where people discuss what is working for them, where everyone can ask questions of each other and present their challenges where the group shares their solutions in similar situations, or where they brainstorm ideas/solutions to achieve their goals.

I used 65% rather than 70% since a flipper needs to ensure a minimum profit ($13-15k), which is tougher to achieve on cheaper houses, and to help cover the risk when you have a lot of rehab in relation to the sales price, as you do in this case.Is this in the Cincinnati/N.

Payment seasoning is not a requirement to achieve loan price requirements.

Hi Maura,Welcome to BP...Put thoughts into small actionable steps and your goals will start to be achieved one by one.

only you can figure that out for yourself.So, I'd say there are 5 ways:leveragetax advantages 'buying at the right price based on skilled, sound analysis'rehabbing/identifying 'best use'deal-making(wholesaling, bird dogging, note buying/selling)Some of these can be achieved passively:leverage + tax advantagesBut even those require the work up front to at least identify, analyze and purchase - and set up managementAnd of course: being your own PM, rehabbing project management(or hammer swinging), and all the deal-making options take constant investment of time.Deal-making is a non-starter for me, I can trade hours for dollars at a high rate in my regular business.Buying at the right price is not a skill I believe I have, I could learn it, and I read here a lot, but I am consistently surprised by how many things the experienced people on here point out that I would have missed or have never thought of.So that leaves me seeking leverage and tax advantages but frozen from buying due to my fear of becoming a 'learning example for ohters' by overpaying.So, like you, I suspect, I focus my efforts on my 'other business' and I keep my capital in the stock market.
