We play cashflow 101 once a month and meet with a large network of investors here in Boise weekly.

Of course, source of seasoning; PITI requirements may come into play, but hey.....

On one hand I'm thinking that I should naturally try to get a multifamily property so that I can ideally escape paying or at least reduce my rent.

I imagine much bigger name investors can get around some of this prequalifying but until you establish yourself you have to play by the rules and "polish your apple".

Anyone you think might be a real investor, here is a good test to weed out the ones who play the part but are sharks in sheeps clothing.Are they selling you an investment, or are they buying investments?

Specifically I was interested in the property management and finacing classes as these could potententially lay a good foundation for investing.I'm not intersted necessary in getting my license, but it would help put me in the agent's head, and perhaps level the playing field a bit.

If things went well, I'd like to buy 25 of them over the next couple of years.I’d pay cash as I went and then ideally do cash out mortgages in groups of 2-4 units.

We play Cashflow 101 again and I get out of the "rat race" with the knowledge that I learned from the course.

I deal only with used mobile homes (not the new ones), and buying used involves cash and/or private $, it is very hard to get financing on the used mobile homes.

It’s been said, “don’t play the market you want; play the market you’ve got.†So the question is, what’s the smart play?
