Filling out the Home Buyers Check list during the inspection process of attending an open house, can assist you in evaluating, recalling and comparing different properties you visit, while searching for your next home.

Anything in particular that you bring to the table in terms of special skills, prior experience, qualifications or other things that you feel will help you get started?

I also like the idea that if I find someone's profile interesting (or what they said in a post interesting) I can work back to prior posts including any introduction they might have left on the new members forum.

What did you do prior?

This includes vacancies.Many older investors in CA when I lived there had built up a portfolio by keeping the prior family home when they traded up.

Can you tell us about your experience in real estate prior to coaching?

Best to find a model that works for you and that normally means playing to your strengths and your prior experience when you first get started.

I would like to hear from my fellow New Yorkers so we can compare notes and follow the laws and trends effecting our investments.

In other words you would have to compare 3 houses to one triplex to be fair.

Of course the tax can be substantial and there would be a penalty prior to age 59 1/2.
