Patients is big and probably number 1!!!

Buying a good home in a good area in my state will outperform every other investment I can think of, but you have to be patient and wait for time to do its magic.

LOL I own rental properties, too, and you can trust me: you guys are not the 'doctors' to my 'patient'.

There isn't much in Cary for $150k, but a little over 200k will get you into the nicer town home areas (if you are patient).I have a town home in SE Raleigh getting ready to be listed for $105k that rents for $895/month.  1505 Oxleymare Court.  

Just around 1 hour every day is enough.Find one online training provider from your state training provider list and you control study by yourself.Get the license is not so hard but try to find a broker to meet your time and expectation needs patient.

Kid was running around like a mental patient...playing with my drill (still in case but he could squeeze trigger to turn on), playing with stud finder, climbing step ladder, etc.

They have been very patient with me, a newbie.

I also agree with doing your due diligence and getting expert reports on the condition of the home.When I worked in hospital management in the patient relations and risk management departments, when someone stated they would sue us, we would investigate the matter.

@Kimberly TI checked my NOLO  Every Landlord's Legal Guide, and this is what it said:...The courts in California have construed the Unruh Act to forbid all discrimination on the basis of one's personal characteristic or trait.Even if you live in a state that does not specifically outlaw arbitrary discrimination, there is a very strong practical reason why you should not engage in arbitrary discrimination-- for example, based on obesity, occupation, or style of dress.  

Insurance or Medicaid allows patients to get them at no cost.
