Might end up going for a live in flip but we will see where life takes me on that one.

I’ve been interested in RE investing for several years, as I’ve found that I’m good at digging up opportunities and closing, and I enjoy crunching numbers and analyzing problems.I’m interested in meeting people who have set up private money / private equity deals in the past, especially if it involved single-family residential buy-and-hold strategy.I’m also looking at pulling the trigger on the local Lifestyles Unlimited seminar, because I have a lot to learn, and also because I want access to what Lifestyles considers “best practices” in what will be my market.I’m happy to hear all sides of any idea and my hobbies include playing devil’s advocate and drumming at my local church.

Have you ever thought about retiring early, traveling, and living your best life now?

I've heard rumor of it's existence but haven't had any luck finding one in real life (and I've called at least 15 banks & credit unions).

We are trying to mesh our investing with our retirement plan and just need to have someone who can look over the big picture and help guide us.We have worked with 2 financial advisors so far and have been steered to whole life policies and investing in the market.

I am having so much fun thinking about the investment potential in RE and the possibilities for creating a life of increased wealth, time, and flexibility.

I think most of this stuff is blown.. over  and over reacting to a once in a life time crash that was 08.. markets always ebb and flow that's the reality.. it cant always be red hot.. it can be hot and it can be cool. or just  warm.. but crash's don't come every 10 years.. 

Just wondering what that type/style of drywall is called.

That would leave me with no where to live though so I would have to find another property.I could use an FHA loan but I don't like the idea of PMI for the life of the loan.

If you run into trouble in the future you could lose all 4 properties.Instead, I'd see if each seller would let you take over the mortgage, pay the owner their equity and they move on with life.
