We use the money made from my stock market gains to invest in RE but haven't gotten into RE without living in it except for a duplex which we broke even on in the early '90s.I'm going to look at a property next week that's being offered by a wholesaler in our local REIA.

In the near future as I gain more experience, I will help anyone especially the new members who are just starting out.

$180K equity gain in under a year is fantastic.

With 10% PM, this deal essentially goes to zero gain for you.I like this place at 100k, self(well, you) managed.

I'm just asking just to ask. I am still saving money for a down payment on a rental property out of state and i understand none of this should be rushed, but I am wondering if anyone has ever started investing with...

My question is, should I hold onto the SFR hoping to gain more appreciation but risk wiping out any short term profits or sell now, take the money and really make it work for me?

As you can see - you have so much valuable information and support here on BP without shelling out thousands.

I intend to learn as much as possible from this site, network and gain some friends in state, out of state and around the world.

I am currently looking for work in the real estate field and pretty much any way to gain experience and educate myself.I'm very much looking forward to becoming more involved on BP and in our local real estate investing scene!!
