I have friends that own higher end rentals, and high dollar ($200/night) weekend lakeside rentals.

If you have a website or other ways for people to reach you update your profile so that the active buttons show up with each post.

So, though I've never owned a home in my life, I've gotten over this fear and made the decision to take an active part in REI for myself.What can I say?

An active bidding will keep the lender involved and you can negotiate a better deal.

I dont like the stock market, and my weekends are spent rehabbing houses, that is my investment.

and i don't regret it at all. sure it's nice to have made a great profit on my first transaction but i viewed the situation as:1) i can continue to rent...2) ...or own a property paying the same amount of rent and expenses while gaining experience.in both instances my cash flow (i'm going to include the income from my job) would have stayed relatively the same---granted i pay about 200 more due to taxes and insurance. but 200 extra a month was not as important to me as it might be for some one else who has a tighter budget. but since i made the leap definitely feel more confident navigating the entire process over again and also learned how to do some rehabbing on my own (tiling, staining, flooring, light plumbing..etc...)I also now have realistic timelines as to when certain jobs can be completed----at one time i thought I could gut and fix my kitchen and two bathrooms by myself in under 2 weeks only working weekends.

Someone who actively markets my property.

The easiest way is to use Google and check in with the local REIA members who are active in the market.John Corey

Make it clear that you have an interest in the property but use active listening skills to learn more.It is hard to know what the seller might want when you have no idea what is going on in their head or in their life.

Since this activity is within an S-corp. you will not be charged the self-employment income tax and you have the added benefits of the employee benefits John mentioned.
