Hi everyone,I took a real estate class and my instructor mentioned he hates having his information in there so he has it in a trust to prevent people from figuring out what properties he has or information in general.Can some one explain how I can do this, especially if I'm tying to gain more properties.

I would tie this into solar panels to limit the utility cost. 

Is it normal to get these properties under contract and tying the validity of the contract to the result of the inspection?

Most of my savings is tied to my 401k.

I’m just not sure how to pull off working my day job (for the time being) and tie into REI.

., PenFed and NFCU), and most will only allow you to pull out up to 80% of the property's value.If I were in your shoes, I'd refinance now to get into a longer term loan with lower payments. 

We live in the SF Bay Area but my wife has ties to Toledo/Northwest Ohio.  

., considering you are in a C class neighborhood and your hands are tied with regulations why not go section 8. 

Since my goal/most likely outcome would be to end up in Greenville, SC I could also explore the option of buying property out of state while living in New Orleans.Considering that I’ve just begun learning about real estate investing, know absolutely nothing about the New Orleans area (from looking through other forum posts, it sounds like a difficult area for a beginner investor), and I’d need to make a decision fairly quickly - what would you do in my shoes?
