I am seeking advice on a smart place to park the money while we wait so we can gain more interest then the standard 0.1% a normal savings account can offer.

Modern traders may executed multiple orders per second using API technology and hence they are probably paying more than investors 50 years ago.

Can I look at craigslist, realtor.com zillow I want to see some examples of good homes that are for sale, that would be smart to buy and rehab.

Things are constantly changing, and even if you aren't big enough to make big changes, you're smart enough to pinpoint them and get onto the curve.  

Gurus are smart enough to know that 95% of the those who "jump in" to real estate this year will jump out within 6 to 12 months....that's why the Guru's get their money up front.

Hi Marcin,If your job requires anything beyond patch & paint type things you would be smart to hire licensed, insured, experienced people.

Yes, I really do sense that buying low in 2013 and holding for years is a smart move.

I would be trail closing all the time  ..start with the big production of laying the hundo on the table.. then I would say I know you are smart people ( they agree with me everyone agree's they are smart)so  I am going to be as straight forward as I can.And I am sure you appreciate that as well.. and I KNOW your the type of people that would just come out with it that you either trust someone or you show them the door.. you never hold that in right ????

I think it's a smart idea, just another form of OPM. 

If you have the money and can put a smart and reliable team together, then it may be ok.Just real estate investing has many different routes in different markets.
