first off, CONTRACT CONTRACT CONTRACT...... putting the property UNDER CONTRACT is the first step, CONTROLLING THE PROPERTY.......I always use a specific performance CONTRACT, in the buy/ sell CONTRACT unless otherwise stated is a earnest money CONTRACT, so using a specific performance CONTRACT will be binding on both sides subject to the specific details of it, so while leaving u the lead way to wiggle out of it if certain criteria isn't meet, once the CONTRACT is executed u can shop around for ur new financing, assignments, the beauty of this is actually ALLOWING you to be very artistic so use ur imagination and keep pushing.. specific performance CONTRACT is a CONTRACT which means parties can sue for specific performance...

Even if you want to get back into real estate, the beauty is that you start over with a new cost basis in the property and fresh depreciation.

Probably my favorite book, but it's not an easy read.Real estate mathematics simplified - Shulman, Susan A, from 1979, but it lays out the calculations very simply.Sensible finance techniques for Real Estate Investors- Reed, John T from 1984The real estate math handbook _ - Burrell, Jamaine, 2007Successful real estate investing in a Boom or Bust Market - Loftis, Larry B 2007 - one of my favoritesModern real estate - Wurtzebach, Charles H - I have the 3rd edition from 1987The beauty of all of these is that they are free from openlibrary.org.

The weather is beautiful and the market is hot.

It's a beautiful (completely remodeled) 1 bd 1 ba.

Beautiful.

I was scheduled to be out of town for the rest of the day.My beautiful wife and the kids loaded the trailer with all of the mowing equipment and off they went.When I got home, my wife said that my eighth grade daughter was a little out of sorts while mowing and had asked "Do you think dad will buy any more rentals?"

I gave the tenant a credit off first month (through Cozy) and was able to schedule a credit ahead of time off last month's rent, so I don't have to worry about forgetting to do it later.And, best of all, I've used Cozy for easy, beautiful listings.

Hi Everyone - the beauty of real estate is that there are so many different ways to be involved.
