Making real estate/investing your life through consistent conversation with family & friends is a way to garner interest & perceived experience.

I purchased the course from ebay, which consists of the live audio recordings, some sample docs and the 3-day event PPTs..My understanding is the course is based on fairly high level note and trust deed knowledge.

In that situation you should never lose a month's rent because if the group consists of students in different grades there will usually always be at least one of them wanting to stay when the others want to leave.

The city consistently makes top ten lists for "cheapest places to live".

Although I will be living in half of the house (doing cosmetic work in unit 1, then moving to unit 2, doing the same, then moving out), after I move out the house will net me at a minimum $300.00 a month after PIMI.Many of the things I have read usually consist of people purchasing with cash or a conventional mortgage, so I feel my situation is a little more unique, however I could be looking in the wrong places. 

She's not the type that is going to shot guy a bunch of low offers but she know about the market and what makes a good rental as we have over a dozen in CR ourselves.  

I would think as long as your getting consistent ROI you should be good, possible issues with the house itself could be a problem however.

But I also think that not putting a timestamp on the second counter offer shot me in the foot as well.

I really have no clue so I'll take a shot in the dark and say is 70-80k/year passive income a reasonable goal in say 5 years?

If the coffee is consistently bad, don't go to the shop.
