However, the most cost efficient and safest way is to move in with someone looking for roommates.

Hi Guys,I'm looking for a free contact manager app to manage all my RE contacts (Agents, general contractors, lawyers, property managers, etc) in an efficient manner.

Lesson learned: tight deadlines given by well-stocked sellers are very hard to manage when you are not experienced and are dealing with a lender who has a lot of requirements of their own but do not manage time efficiently and/or are dishonest with how long their process actually takes. 2.

I love to take older houses and update them to today standards, making them as efficient and beautiful as possible.

@Jacob GoldsteinIf you are eligible for a Solo 401k, it will be the much more efficient way to go compared to an ERISA plan that covers non-owner employees.

I work a factory job and raise a family on a modest income.

Probably, but I quickly started to understand how to more efficiency look for, and analyze properties that made sense.Once you find one, run it by your agent/PM to get his/her opinion on the neighborhood, advertised rents etc to confirm, and start getting offers submitted. 

In my city at 400 square-foot garden shed finished out as an efficiency apartment would get for $50-$600 a month.

We added value to the deal by meeting the sellers needs, holding the property to build equity and closing on the sale in a efficient and timely manner.What was the outcome?

Buy the home, make the necessary updates as cost efficiently as possible, and flip it.
