I am definitely in that first eager stage of soaking up everything I possibly can.

This is important as I am married and my wife fully supports our adventure but needs (as do I) to gain confidence and momentum in the early stages and propel us to longer term success.Ultimately I want to experience all aspects of real estate to be well rounded but at the moment, but I believe buy and hold suits my individual skills and my current situation.  

It's all scripted/staged for entertainment value.

So as you can see, I'm a noob here, currently in the "learn as much as possible" stage. 

I also stage samples in the house.

My portfolio is in the early stages currently. 

I'm planning to stage my condo in Austin this coming spring to list for sale.  

I was getting very frustrated and anxious by this stage as I knew I was getting a very sweet deal and was worried the sellers could back out.Then an attorney on the  sellers end popped up, who was representing him in in the car accident incident.Today I received an email from the sellers attorney that they are cancelling the contract, citing that its null and void as its past the closing date.

It could be a very small business - one low maintenance rental or it could be someone's sole source of income.I think it really depend on what stage you are at financially on what makes sense in terms of diversification. 

Im still at the preliminary stages but I'd love to keep this dialogue going.
