Next thing you know I have a Scottrade acccount funded and I am constantly reading about probabilities, ETFs, Forex, Market Sectors,Technical Analysis, etc...

technically we don't pay rent in the normal sense so essentially we are going from NO cost of housing to having a mortgage and everything that goes with it. we get more money living off base than on so its not that we are trying to find $1k out of thin air but we are having to pay electric, water, trash etc now whereas its FREE right now.

A technicality, except it really isn't.

Tomorrow, we will be releasing a final set of back-end technical changes that wont change how you use the site, but are important for our operations.

To me, Dave's niche is the "financially illiterate/ irresponsible" segment.

You don't really "miss" a month of mortgage payments -- interest is paid *after* it accrues, so the month that you're supposedly missing is just being paid on the first of the following month.So, while technically it's true that you're missing a month of payments this year, that final payment gets paid at the end of the loan, "adding" a month of payments in the final year.

Personally, if I walked through a flipped house and knew that permits weren't pulled, and had no proof that everything was installed per code, I wouldn't buy it...That is coming from an investor's point of view, remember, it is retail buyers who we sell to, not investors and they usually do not have that perspective.My point was that there are many items that all rehabbers do in rehab homes that technically would require permits, but they are simple things and most rehabbers simply don't bother with the city on these items.

My technical skills are lacking insofar as profile pics are concerned.If you need a visual of me check this link:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0751470/Thanks!

As I started reading, it read like a self-help book, not a technical source on real estate investment. 

My husband has always managed apartments for his family and definitely has more experience than I, but I also think that learning more about it will allow me to identify and consider different niches within the market as well as equip me with the education to be an involved partner and not solely rely on his decision making on what to purchase and how to manage the properties.
