My wife and I are getting ready to close on our first foreclosure  through Homepath (that's been fun) but we are doing it and are going to live in it and eventually rent it.  

This is a fun business, and you're in the right place.

Your property appreciates with time as inflation and demand play their part.  

While driving other addresses I put this one on my list for fun.

I personally would rather be an investor/landlord willing to help than not to, as I have found the ethical approach to what my parents always told me growing up to "always treat others as you'd like to be treated" to be very fruitful in this game of life (and real estate) we all play. 

BP has tons of great and fun information including free online videos and courses for you to watch and learn from.

Hey guys, I've got deal this deal in play.

I would like to get into REI, but want to play in safer area, and be conservative than burn and die  and be worried.

When the goal of everyone involved is just to make a buck, it's a tough sandbox to play in.  

Have fun.
