Hi Aaron,Great work on getting started early, that really gives you an advantage in the investment game. 

I started looking and saw a house, that if fixed up would be worth around $50,000 more than was put in. I

I would suggest getting 3 leasees signed before moving in. I

Hope you enjoy the game and have a good one.

Hi KevinIs this still the case today or are we getting late in the game 

Over time it has simply become our demographic and what I am comfortable in. I

Im looking to get into the buy and hold game.

They are usually done by a block method using square feet, they don't have time to look at each property so if you bet on that value, you'll be wrong, it's apples and oranges.If you don't know what value is based on and the 3 approaches used, you're not even in real estate, you might be playing some guru game playing house like a 5 year old girl, just trying to play with bigger houses.

I want to be able to fix up a property and rent to families looking for a home to make memories in. I

Below are what I know as options.1) Conventional - My dad gets the lump sum, but I don't get any benefit 2) Land Contract - My dad wins the "long game" with financing it to me, maybe he'd offer a price break.3) Living Trust or Land Trust?
