If I were you, I would half my expectations/intentions---portfolio value of 500K + 95% Financing would leave you with 25K of reserves...Regards,Scott Miller

Just keep going until you do your first deal and get that big fat pay check like the one I'm going to go pick up right now from my lawyer for $185k for a flip that I did in just 6 months.

I'd like to ask those who have been to seminars like the one coming to Chicago this week end......Wealth in Real Estate Expo with Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Susie Orman.... what can I expect?

There is no low lying fruit anymore, but the old timers still expect it to fall in their laps like it did decades ago.

One the far right side I have a single column which shows my "expected" net income for the year.

How much appreciation on the value of the property an investor can expect conservativelly on a pre-construction condo purchase?

Eventually something will go very differently on a deal than you are expecting, and its good to have some ideas of what you will do when it does.

I've been looking around on the Internet and the prices for mobile homes seem to be a lot higher than I expected.

Welcome, we have been expecting you!!!!

I expect to be sold something when I go to those types meetings because thats what they do.
