You need to know if that's the case in this market, or if these houses are selling and holding their prices.You imply there are numerous houses for sale in the same neighborhood.

In this case, you're a real estate attorney, and we don't have many active ones on the site (yet).

Getting sued happens to land on the very top of my list of least favorite activities.

I say do Both...but I actively trade currency and It's kind of nice not to have to deal with people, banks and properties when you are trading ;D I can do much better than 10% per year trading on my own, but there's +'s and -'s with any investment.But I enjoy doing both so I can't see me giving up one to do the other solely.

I get calls from realtors on active listings asking "is the ss approved yet?"

I hope you'll become an active participant in the community.Best, Josh

Yes, I would be active and seek to join the board and work towards appreciation.

We have not done a lease option yet but have started marketing and have actively been looking for homes.

They are the active ones in that area.

But for me, I'm satisfied with my progress and I think my second year as an investor will be an even better one.So, if you take anything out of that 3-day seminar, take the enthusiasm and the motivation, and keep it alive and active in your mind everyday.
