So I wonder, JScott and Bryan A., Do you guys have a huge piggy bank so you can buy today and whenever the short sale is approved too, OR you guys have in place a couple of investors that loans you money whenever your cash is tied up on other project, but a deal comes up?

Their inspection came back with items for us to repair, including suspecting of termite, heater was operating but making noise and there are signs of rust, along with some more minor items.

Bryan,Wow, great job saving $150k at 25! 

I'm more into the cash-flow properties, but I buy and hold (or flip and hold) long-term (why sell if they *produce*).Bryan: What was your take on Cory?

Just moved to the area, and want to invest in real estate for future financial growth and stability. distrust of current paper markets. columbus is on a growth trend. like a dark horse. tech-driven city in the rust belt.

Hey Bryan Weller - I've heard this is a good book for understanding finance as it relates to real estate investing:Real Estate Finance and Investment Manual by Jack Cummingshttp://www.amazon.com/Real-Estate-Finance-Investment-Manual/dp/0470260408

If APO, AE means you are in the armed forces in Europe, Bryan C., then first and most importantly, thank you for your service.

I agree with @Bryan Hancock, Champion School of Real Estate.
