I'm involved in the Bloomington-Normal REI group, but I think there is one in Springfield, too. 

Payments, Security Deposits, Late Fees, Bounced Checks, whatever involves this tenant will show up on the right hand side.

What I net depends on whether I involve anyone but my lawyer.  

High achievers always move the goal line out anyway; so, tying your happiness to the end result rather than daily action can result in unhappiness along the way.Regarding real estate investing, add value...it speeds up the wealth building process. in the For What ever its worth category.. to me real estate is life.. its a life style.. there is no retirement.. not sure why folks get so worried about retirement.. you get your stable of whatever kind of real estate you want  sFR multi commercial  Notes  short term lending .. fix and flip  value add  MHP  storage spec building etc etc.. and you nurse them along and work with them until you pass through the pearly gates.. why retire even if you retire with rentals your still involved in some manner.. if I looked at real estate that way I retired at 18 when I started selling the stuff it was and is not a JOB to me its a lifestyle..

Hello everyone,I am a senior at ASU and am looking to get involved in the real estate industry.

Most people do not have the cash to buy multiple properties. 

New Orleans owners of multiple properties have quoted $300-400 month for insurance (NSC, Flood Insurance, etc,). 

After that amount of exposure, my following up and discussions with showing agents lead to multiple offer situations on both homes, netting me more on each sale.Ultimately, it comes down to how you run your business, your follow-through, etc.

I've gone through multiple property managers and though I can't say I've got a fool proof system for finding a good P.M.

I had factored in repairs, closing, no commission due to no real estate involved....What would be considered a better spread?
