Someone who looked it up for me in '06 told me it's normal for my age (it was my landlord, and I'm 25 now).

There are a lot obstacles to be a landlord and seeking cash flow.

Maybe, but it works well when you're a landlord.

Existing home sales have fallen a record percentage in the last TWENTY-SEVEN years.Being a landlord, I can't help but buy all I can this year.

keith, i did what your talking about...i was able to buy 3 three family properties this year...it is working out because i bought for cash flow...my equity in my own home was not working for me at allbut it all depends on your risk tolerance...make sure your #'s work...for example my numbers: i make over $1500/month per property i bought this year...if i could buy more i would but right now ive used all my equity up to 75% on my primary home...landlording is not easy either, just get ready for the roaches, bedbugs, overflowing toilets, fights between tenants, trash, etc...even w/ all of that its still worth it imo...good luck....bg

The short version of what a "Deal" is can and will vary depending on who your buyer is… But remember, there are several types of buyers, and they all are looking for something a bit different… Here are the buyer types… 1) A retail buyer wanting to live in the house… 2) A traditional landlord… 3) Another investor…A retail buyer must love the house and want to live there… If they feel they are getting a “deal” i.e. they love the home, the price or the terms, then they will buy.

West Suburban's Landlord Association will probably be your best resource for experts as it relates to rentals in your area.

(Where do you think we get the term "landLORD"?.)

If you haven’t seen this little video with Will Ferrell entitled “The Landlord”... it is pretty funny!

Calling the police, suggesting shelters or other community services that can offer support, etc.What are you suggesting you can do as a landlord that was not something you already do?
