Every few days we'll see a user who has hundreds of posts on the site and we'll realize that we have NO IDEA who they are.

Quite a few investors have been sending us properties that would either never stay rented for them or never cashflowed and we've turned them around with the model It's not the easiest thing to do and we've been doing it for years now.The interesting thing is that I swore off real estate investing (like most of us) in 2009 but realized that with our turn-key approach & the shared housing model, we have the perfect recipe for getting back into investing.

I did and I realized that in my area (Boston, MA), bandit signs and yellow letters are a waste of time.

Hey everyone,I am out of Washington state, and a beginning real estate investor...or soon to be :) I spent the last 3 months doing the wholesale thing, and after realizing that I was using what little money I have, to market for motivated sellers, and not making any money, this was not the most wise decision from a financial standpoint.

People also mature, it won't be long and they will begin to realize that savings and retirement goals are important.As to the lack of the down payment, (BTW, how much are they putting down, saying very little isn't clear) can be easily cured as they could pay 100 or 200 dollars more toward principal for say 2 or 3 years then drop to the regular payment.

If they're both priced the same, the tenant won't move because of the costs of moving makes renting the second home more expensive.But, how much cheaper does the second home have to be before the tenant realizes that it'd be cheaper to move into the second home even with the additional moving costs?
