But not a lot.Taking this to the stock market: Investing in cash flow is a lot like investing in safe stocks -- utilities and the like.

Originally, I wanted to do Lonnie Deals, but the SAFE Act has me scared off (for now).

I'd rather be safe than sorry.I'm not sure how liens work in other states, but if the supplier can file a lien, make sure you get a lien waiver.

This sounds like a technique to avoid the due-on-sale clause.

I have saved up around 30k in liquid currency, 6k in a 401k and around 8k in investments.I work in the Cerritos Area of Southern California and am wondering a safe bet to throw a Owner/Occupied FHA loan at.I would like to use this as a long term hold investment for monthly gain, and would like to keep my ROI very high.I can not fund a conventional 20% down which is why I am going FHA.I would LOVE to stay within 45 minutes of my work area of Cerritos Auto Square..Any tips?

I listed 115 to be safe.

Sure, you can get started without a dime in your pocket by birddogging (finding deals for other investors for a fee or cut of the profit), wholesaling (getting property under contract and turning it over to somebody else), master leasing, purchasing "subject to", and a myriad of other techniques, but I'm afraid you'll find everybody else and their brother is doing the same thing creating a mountain of competition.

Actually, the single thought that convinced me it was safe to go full time into real estate was, "if I put 50 - 60 hours a week into anything I will eventually be good at it."

I always wonder how gurus get to teach unethical techniques like this and be able to sleep at night?
