The husband of the lady I hired to stage came along and dropped off furniture.  

@Jeffrey Mark Can you help this young lady out?

I was talking to a young lady the other day who specializes in self directed IRA's. 

-just ask the nice ladies (or gentlemen) how and they will show you.

@Jennifer Carton Welcome.This is a tough market (a lot of competition and very high prices that don't make sense) but you seem like you'd be a tough lady that would make a good investor.The trick is to try many things and focus on what's working.

Good Evening Ladies and Gents!

@Jay HinrichsNot to rehash old threads but two reasons for why not to get licensed if wholesaling is your intent:1) the cost of maintaining the license (at least until you can qualify as an independent broker) can be pretty high, especially with a lot of brokers that allow benchwarmers to hang a license seem to think desk fees are a primary source of revenue2) the bigger issue for me is opening yourself to professional liability issues when you use your industry knowledge to take advantage of the poor old lady who really needs to cash out of her mansion but the kids thought they were going to live there.

You should be shooting for at least $100 per month per door in real cash flow.Of course none of this takes into consideration the appreciation game/gamble or amortization, however, if your goal is income, you need to be fully educated on operating expenses and all other costs associated with owning rental units.

The city said there was nothing they could do about the drainage, though the mayor, our council lady and the storm sewer guy all acknowledge we have drainage issues.

Great lady but after she retired and I started using my current agent, I see the difference.
