Hi, If I have money and want to invest it in Real Estate, but am a Newbie and want to start out slow and maybe give my money to someone else to get a higher percentage rate than 5-7% in stocks, how does this work? 

Wife wouldn't allow it though :-( With the extra $600 you could pay on the principal to accelerate equity buildup or save it for a downpayment on another rental.

I am interested in the actual results of any investor using the $1:$9 accelerator of using OPM( others peoples money) and leveraging the funds in order to buy properties and increase the equity.

Jan is sometimes slow because fewer people are looking and putting stuff under contract in December, but it picks right back up in February.

While this time of year shows a slow down in the market nationwide, we are busier than ever.

Having fixed financing with a higher accelerated pay down isn't the answer to staying fluid at least not for me.The question to sell and 1031 to something else is how much dead equity you have in the property and where the value is in the cycle for your property.

There may be others with ideas on slowing the foreclosure.Are you underwater? 

I don't want to go through the hassle of buying, rehabbing and installing a MH, then selling with owner finance. but would like to collect lot rent to accelerate the mortgage paydown.Is it common practice to offer up the land for lease and hope to find tenants that can furnish their own trailers?  

How slow is this process? 

Because a lot of people think nobody is going to do anything in the 4th quarter and they slow down and get "holidayitis."
