I am wondering has anyone out there ever successfully dealt with an Investor that was part of one of these chains?

I have about $30,000 cash right now in savings, and am wondering if I should go right now and begin buying another property to rent out, or if I should wait until I pay off my existing house in a year and a half.

I was wondering if I bought, say, 3 rental properties at $100k each putting very little down ... is there any benefit to me besides having the renters paying my 3 extra mortgages?

i was wondering - if i have 3 rental properties that bring in say, $1000 a month each - $500 of which for each house (or $1500 total) a month goes to principal, does that mean that my tax break would be $1500 x 12 for the first year?

Also, when I set it up I want to make sure it is taxed as a C-Corp, so that I will save more in taxes.I am also wondering if I will need a business license, I never hear anyone mention it.

I was wondering, do you invest in any of the short sales, or do you strictly act as a broker on these deals?

I wonder if they'll let me turn the water on prior to making an offer.

I was also wondering if the presence of effective public transportation 2 minutes away will influence the price upwards more, with gas prices as they are (we pay close to 6$ a gallon here) and looking like they will keep on going up.

That also makes it so [i]you[/i] can move to foreclose if necessary.I was wondering what that structure and documentation was.

Just wondering if any of you have been on any bus tours that focus on emerging markets.
