The power of real estate is letting the tenants pay your mortgage.

In my spare time, I watch and play futbol(soccer), listen to live music and read books.I will like to connect with fellow investors, who can I can learn a lot from.

I'm not willing to buy anything in a C or D area, so if an out-of-town investor is, more power to them.

Realize TK saves some work but is a long term play as you are purchasing at high retail. 

If your credit score isn't great but a lender can tell you know your stuff he/she is more likely to play ball. 

@Markia Dunn  I was actually thinking about your post today, I should also mention the wholesalers that are playing the auction wholesale game here, are also bankrolled very well.

Rest assured the tenant in the BK know all the ins and outs on how to play the eviction game.

It is a HUD property and the power is currently off.

This is totally fine and I do see the power of it, it's just not for me (and my wife for that matter)It depends on how fast you want to achieve your goal and what you actually want to give up to get it.You can still hit your goal over the course of a few years by starting with just 1 property with a 20% down payment!!
