Very creative...Switching the dark cabinet and range seems essential because the corner is just a terrible place for the range.

Here are some of the pros we listed out: We make the first step towards investing.We have a home base where we want to settle, and other people are paying for itWe start gaining experience We are able to focus our savings during travel therapy for future properties we might want more efficiently We have someone close who we trust to manage the property while we are goneCons: Relying on the father-in-law to cosign on the mortgage... risk on his partWe are still fairly new, although by that point we will have taken about 6-9 months to educate ourselvesWe have no cash, we will have to get creative with financingBetween this and student loans, we will be up to our eyeballs in debtWe will be absent landlords most of the timeSo we are trying to decide whether or not this is worth the risk.

That will be a creative way to learn.

Although until then, I feel very satisfied in this creative & dynamic industry.

I always wanted to be a genius, now I are one!

Account Closed I also started real estate at a young age, everyone saying that you are too young because you can't enter into contracts is right but not thinking creatively. 

Is there any creative alternatives or any other options? 

Skills I have learned I still use everyday.I have experience in various levels of the art of the deal or negotiations with vendors on a global scale.I pride myself in my creativity to resolve problems to the satisfaction of all parties.I am a motivated learner who listens and applies what I learn.Best of all I live in Colorado and in Fort Collins. 

When research markets for things like demographics, wage growth population growth , and attracting the creative class; what websites or specific data do you pull where do you get your information and what numbers and specific trends do you look for most when choosing to invest buy and hold wether commercial or residential?

I need to stick with the creative financing I’ve been using so far (i.e owner financing and lease options thus far).
