This means, playing the middle man on ALL deals.

I'm fairly new to the game but so far have had some success with rentals in both Phoenix and Portland that are both cash flow positive.

However, viewing it from my side a year ago - I was taking into consideration that I paid retail for my first 2 rental properties so this was putting me ahead of the game when compared relative to those (as an aside, those retail purchases have worked out just fine for me).

I always tell my investors it is like playing Monopoly you have to have houses on every side of the board (different markets) to win the game.

Sometimes they are sick of it and just want to move on.Whatever the reason, motivated sellers are the way to profit from this game.

They did it all of the time last summer, but in the last 5 months the game has changed.

When you invest in these things on your own (without any experience to back you up) you will definitely see these risks coming into play!

Now if you have a bunch of capital to work with and don't mind playing the waiting game then it might be a good idea.

Meanwhile, we have invaded someone who we thought had it and they didnt, we threaten another nation who we think wants to have it, and then we placate and play games with the people who already have it and can deliver it to the west coast.

I was surfing the internet Saturday (yes before the college games) and I came across this site http://www.reicasting.com/ I read what they were propossing and after, I thought to myself "I'd probably look good on TV" and "Superstar".
