Two areas of interest right now for me are the Augusta, Ga, and Raleigh, NC, area, respectively.  

Now, because you know of these critics you are able to listen out of respect but able to NOT let the comments alter your investing efforts.I am an investor, Broker and Property Manager of 16 years and I've been through about five different Real Estate cycles. 

During the course of the phone call, where I explained to this wholesaler who I am, and what i do for a living, and respect the fact that he has to get paid, I find out this is one of these low-level daisy chain deals.  

Which leads me to a respectful rebuttal of the above comment about wasting money.

Both are great investments and have their own respective pros and cons.

@Christian Wathne I don't know if you've seen the show(s) on HGTV about Tiny Houses, but there are a lot of alternatives in respect to the heat/water, etc.

Well you're wise to respect leverage and debt as over doing it is the major way people to lose their properties.For me I got over it by starting slow but taking action, my first property I bought in cash as I was afraid of debt at the time.

The two duplexes I own were purchased for $64k and $69k respectively.  

As long as you are patient with me in this respect, know that I intend to build some beautiful, energy-efficient, and profitable houses as well as purchase enough rental properties so that I can have more financial freedom.
