Is this wise?

You must make wise decisions and get alot of them right to truly be successful and stay there.

Or would it be more wise to let them meet, learn and make what I can, and just trust that I dont get cut out of the middle.

Jon, it's true we shouldn't consider a personal home as a vehicle towards wealth, but it is certainly a wise investment.First, if you are paying $700 a month to buy a home, that's an investment.

You are also paying realtors for the inherit knowledge they bring to the table ( similar to a doctor or lawyer) - And therefore it would be wise to choose a realtor who is also an investor and has "walked in those moccasins".

get that baby Sub2, this way you've got the deed to the property, other wise, with a contract for deed, you don't have the deed therefor you don't own the property which makes you a TENANT and if you're doing a little switcharoo then you'll get the short end of the fry cook if ya know what I mean LOL!!

After driving around a bit, the only other auto tunnel we saw was our neighbors, and it's pretty much identical to ours structure-wise - although it's listed as a porte-cochere on their plans, and the builder is different (their home was built 4 years after ours).

I believe that investors are wise to get licensed, but reading a few good books can satisfy that perhaps if you are a quick study as hands on experience is best.

Improvements to the income stream and future recovery will = huge gains for the wise investor.

then you have chosen wisely.
