I asked him if I could show his house to a client, it wasn't a fit for them but he agreed to let me list it after a couple of conversations.

Getting too wrapped around the axle about finding the ideal first deal is a good way to miss the game because you were too busy sitting on the sidelines wondering when to enter.

I put a 3 light ceiling fan in every space I can possibly fit it.

Ideally I would like $100,000 in cash flow (net profit) within 10 years or less.I have about $25k and looking for my next investment, but not sure what to do.

So getting that done upfront in the deal somehow is ideal...Bite the bullet early and get that updated then you may be set a decade or two..looks like you are buying right.

           For me appraisal would be the ideal class in order to analyze properties you are interested in accurately and quickly; time is of the essence in investing.

Ideally, you have the big 3 in place; your buying at a discount to retail, your confident you  CAN AND WILL  earn 2 for 1 dollars spent on improvements and #3, your buying in a market that is trending higher.

Don't quote me, I've never done any business with him, but it may be worth reaching out to see if your situation may be a fit for his programs.

Again, condos don't always make ideal rentals, but people make it work.

Professors, military officers, and some foreign business people fit into this category.B Class: Solid working class renters who are on the edge of being able to afford their own home.
