Of course I would need to study the Legal and Ethical aspects of all of this as well as the rules and laws as applied by the DRE..

Ya I'm gonna buy that course and start to study it.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME....It's the best thing since sliced bread, that course carries more weight than MR T carries around his neck, and if I study that course even one more time I'm afraid I'll turn into the next Donald.And if you don't have that course and are not listening to it each day too and from work, then here's what you should do.

My initial reason for contacting the AM was to try and buy that lesser asset for the same 72k i purchased the one next door but they wouldn't let that happen so I tossed on my agent's hat and took a lesser lead from our trustee listing and made someone happy.After trying maybe a dozen times and having very limited success I abandoned the practice of dealing with AM's directly unless I was just trying to get a listing.

I could say it is true - mortgage and refinancing at 2% - but that will not make it so.What I would ask you to do is look into it a bit further for yourselves and don't just base your opinion on the limited information I can make available here.

Right now you should be turning your drive time though into study time.

If you want to be in the Real Estate Investing Business, then study hard and get started.Good Luick,

Here in Hawaii, where rents are much higher than the national average (we're actually highest in the country according to many surveys/studies), it's difficult that repairs and other associated costs could take that big a chunk out of the high cost of the rent.

Keep studying!
