Form me SFR seems to be the most natural way for a newbie REI to start.

This is because it is very easy and natural to "offshore" your taxes along with your costs.

The sellers, well they usually take some finesse and small talk is great at helping to keep everyone relaxed and natural. ;)

These compounds, at least the first three, are somewhat common in petroleum and natural gas.

That's the nature of the Master Lease Option, you are the Master Lessee.

You have never seen ROI till you have seen mother nature do it with soil and seeds.

Rentals normally are going to require at least a down payment and closing costs but not always, and they may need to be fixed up, also.Wholesaling and rehabbing are time and skill intensive, while rentals are by nature passive and can be delegated out very easily.If your credit is in the toilet, building an extensive rental portfolio may be out of the question right now.

I'm trying to get the right questions in the right order so I can have some kind natural flow to the conversation.

This used to not be a big deal so no one bothered to keep them -- however, with the natural gas surge and the "fracking" plan, small lots in residential neighborhoods can be "drilled".Basically, the state and county laws seems to place a certain restriction on how close a drilling operation can be to homes.

I don't recall the procedure off the top of my head but if there is little or no equity they may release.
