Are goal is to have the houses cash flow and a source of income when my husband can retire in 15 years.

However, the Ironbound section seems to have plenty of MFs and a stable stream of renters. 

I'm in Europe most of the time, but do my investing in the states because the returns are really high and it's pretty stable as far as knowing what to expect.  

However, I do not believe that many of these folks pitching their program have the purchaser's best interest at hear.I am sure you are familiar with a book known as "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiosaki, It was such an inspiration to read, I figured I would attend an seminar hosted by them....Long story short, they had the most slick sales guy I have ever met pitching their product, They wanted some where in the ball park of $12 grand to $25 grand for their support and education.ermmm no go.I highly believe that if you are an assistant to someone who is successful and you model their success it will be 10 fold more beneficial for you to learn hands on, rather than from some grease ball who takes folks retirement money for teaching them basics about a business model that (possibly) worked in some other part of the country.There are a lot of folks out there who are hungry for how to make it, and there are equally enough people claiming to have the secret sauce for sale for just that.Be careful with you hard earned dollars, and GOOD LUCK!!!!

First, you introduce some doubt into a stable relationship.  

Not to mention the retirement that the company offers. 

When my husband retires we will be 1031 all the money into an area close to where we live. 

And we know rents may rise a little bit and HUD stays fairly stable year in year out..

My father is retired Air Force and I accompany him to several base facilities where I can post my information for those who are new and searching for a home.

I have one 3 family with stable tenants and good cash flow.
