I am a college student doing an internship at a Boston based real estate investment firm that is offering a condo conversion program, and I am wondering how people feel about a fully hands-off real estate investment.

Location is good, walking distance to a college, but yet still in a quiet neighborhood.

Hello guys,I am looking at purchasing 1 of 4 quad-plexes in a small college town.Although the target demographics are not from the college, it is in the lower-income neighborhood.

So, should I take the usual route and go to college and study business, or accounting, or medicine, or something else I don't really care about in order to get a moderate-paying job, go out to the suburbs and get a cute little house and get a 9 to 5 job doing crap I don't care about, then come home and watch tv and go to sleep, then wake up the next morning and do it all over again?

Throw away the old storm windows and seperate screens that you have to swap out each season for these relatively inexpensive combo units that install on the outside of the window frame in about 5 minutes each (once you have measured for proper size, and had them either custom made or are able to fit standard sizes where possible).

I just added all the expenses from last year to make it easier on here.This building in on a main street in a downtown area of a up and coming college town.

My best friend who has a better job and lives in a cheaper area is making a killing from the real estate investing books I gave him back in high school/college.

Yes, Flipper, we're in Cali.The duplex is in a college town.

Can banks just treat customers any ole way?

I know there are a few people out there that have custom developed some "plug-ins" for quickbooks that are geared towards REI.I want to say that one is John Hyre and the other is Mike Butler, but don't quote me on those names.
