It sounds like you're doing quite well.

For the past 7 years, I lived in the MD and VA areas, and there are quite a number of opportunities there.

Quit claim?

Buffett made most his money from management.His investment return rate is quite low in a first class trader's point of view.For most people, making real money from stock market investment is unrealistic.

I work for a Mortgage company and I email Core Logic/FA quite often. they are a leader if not the only company in the offers as much as they do.

I'm not sure if this is my niche or not quite yet, but I certainly have an interest in it and will continue to grow my investments where there is opportunity.

Here in Arizona they're everywhere, in Phoenix we have people we know as "snow birds" they come down here to escape the winter weather from Canada and all over the country, they usually ether own a home here or are looking to rent.In northern Arizona we have cooler weather, sceanic mountain views, and quite simply it's just beautiful.

If you are eating beans everyday and have nothing to spare, get a position or work that pays better first, RE is not an immediate income producing activity that can be entered into without a dime in your pocket.

The terms that you agree upon are obviously negotiable, but if you're willing to take a small piece of the profit in exchange for sharing your knowledge and guiding someone through the rehab process, that may be a way for you to build your cash reserves.If you take a big picture view and are able to use what you have (knowledge) to help others be successful, you'll be able to get what you want (extra income).I think you'll find that if you take this approach, you'll be in a buying position quite quickly.Best of luck!

In order for us to combine households in a property where we don't feel like we're on top of each other, we'd need the proceeds from their home to do so (we live outside of the DC area and land/big houses are quite expensive).
