Anytime I can secure easy funding for more than I can earn - its a great deal!

Florida still have good deals, i see them online daily.

We offer our tenants the ability to pay rent online through PropertyWare software, most of them opt for this.

You can either look around online or go to Home Depot/Lowe's to get an idea of what materials will cost you.

Google earth and street view can tell you a lot about an area without actually having to hit the street.After doing some online research you would be well served to burn a tank or two of gas to get a true feel.

Hey Greg,I originally started out in residential as a real estate broker.I looked at residential for investment but never pulled the trigger for various reasons.I felt back then the market couldn't keep going up and I was right.I know many sellers now that are STUCK and wish they could buy but they can't because they bought at the height of the market.I only do commercial now.From an earnings standpoint as a broker it doesn't make sense for me to put in 40 offers for an investor on a small house to maybe make 700 to 1,000 bucks on the deal when it finally happens.If I can put the same time and effort into commercial and make 10 to 100 times that much on 1 deal then why work more for less??

My sources of income are as follows:1) Online poker.

Over the years I've made some bad decisions and guess still making em, I.e. investing in stocks, over the board lifestyle, kids going to private schools, big house, expensive cars etc.I just turned 40 and all of sudden I realized that I don't have significant savings, what if something goes wrong and I cannot continue working or suffer a huge loss.I had to set a goal for myself and my goal is to earn atleast $25K/month passive Income in next 4-5 years.

(I've worked in online web site development and programming for 20 yrs, but it's getting a little old and doesn't pay as well as it used to.)

You make money on the sale, the home builders earn their money and the new owner is thrilled with their new space.
