It's working well right now.I like word games, reading, playing with my wife and baby (in different ways, of course), and I like gadgets (PDA's, laptops, etc.).I got my bachelor's degree via distance learning in less than a year's study time (and it's a real degree, regional accreditation and all).

One of the great things with real estate is that your creativity is the only limitation.

I don't want to be one of those "I decided I want to do REI so tell me everything you know" newbies, so I want to lay at least a little background out to show I've done some independent study.

And in the meantime purchasing some industrial-strength spray.If I wasn't so fat, old and decrepit I'd take a martial arts class, too, but I'm just not spry anymore.A couple towns over from here the city council is seriously considering banning pit bulls from within the city limits.

(just to name a few).Ultimately, you need to do your due diligence, study the area, make sure the numbers work for your situation, and always keep reserves (cash, line of credit, etc) for raining days.Good luck to you.

If you want to get into the rental property business, study the business to learn the basics before you buy and then start small!

I am curious as to what you are studying right now.Ya know I have a degree that I hardly ever use these days.

I invest in the Pittsburgh area (not REO's) and the best advice I could offer is to limit the geographical area to a workable distance.

The biggest issue the 2 of you will be challenged with is how may properties you own which are financed. 10 financed properties is the limit for full doc loans and 5 for stated income verified asset loans.Cash Out refinances under conforming guidelines are nothing special.

Supplies are limited and you MUST RESPOND NOW!!!!
