@Charlie Gomez, listen to episode 6 of Keith Weinhold’s Get Rich Education podcast on why financially free beats debt free.  

You can buy an option to purchase the property at today's price. 

With a little education and a fair amount of time you could have something awesome.The other route is for a “paid” version like Quickbooks.

Auctions can be tricky.I'd say the first thing to figure out is today's ARV. 

I would be apprehensive on history of bed bugsI would say no if a previous landlord gave me a bad reviewand anyone in the world who threatens me out of some perceived moral high ground in an effort to intimidate me so they can get what they want at my expense, well they are surely to receive only my most vile behavior in return.I wouldn't just turn this person down, I would ask to meet in an empty parking lot and fist fight. but then again, that's just me, and I'm feeling particularly hostile today. real answer: you should pass, and stop communicating with this person

Zillow says $193,238 as of today.

This community is such a supportive resource, and the opportunities for education are rich.

I receive biweekly checks today from tenants from 5 years ago from their employers payroll company (e.g ADP).All my tenants are screened up front.  

A mistake in todays world, with the internet blasted with information, is not a learning experience it is unacceptable.

I just want to make sure I'm choosing the right education Thanks
