What do you do to keep yourself focused, motivated and productive, while in a holding pattern?

The problem is that the people who can afford that range can't get financed.

In LA you have to screen the heck out of your tenants, but the good news is that the demand is astronomical for well located product and people can't afford to buy so the tenant pool is generally much better than in lower cost markets.Like I said, I am ready to diversify though.

I can afford to trade my time for money right now, but not money for time.

I say if you can't afford to do it yourself right now then immerse all of your second jobs into the field you are interested in...Become a bird dog for another investor and get paid a small finders fee if he/she ends up closing on the deal.

That being said, Quickbooks is a pretty poor platform for the kind of inventory production accounting involved in flipping.

And the only way we can afford private school is to invest and get a return on our money.

It seems there is little use getting an appraisal on a finished product if you are not using a loan.

Pretty simple to use and there are tons of other SaaS products that can integrate with it.

I would go with the double hung window if you can afford it.
