I consider that to be a very naive and kind of a lazy way of doing financial calculations.So I really would suggest all Investors do at least a 10 year pro-forma projection business plan.

I'm 26, and working to get the life I want to live happily, financially free, and to the standard I uphold myself to through Real Estate!

You have to know how to read financial statements so you can begin to recognize a problem when it starts. 

AND then tell them once an eviction is on your record , most all landlords wont rent to you .  

I would not do an unsecured loan in an IRA unless you know the borrower really really well and have track record. 

Since 1975, prices have only dropped twice -- once in the mid-80s when the oil-centric Denver market was hit by the drop in oil prices; and a second time in the aftermath of the 2007-08 financial crisis.Now is a tricky time to sell.

After college, I knew I wanted to pursue my law degree and I ended up back in CT because I missed my very large Italian family (also law school is f***ing expensive so financially it made a lot of sense).

The land trusts remove your name from public record for the "child" series, while the Agent Trust will remove your name from public record on the "parent" Series LLC - which makes this entity insanely difficult to "discover" from the outside.

Factor that in as wellI'd like to think we're capable, but would hate to dive in and find out I'm wrong lol - You need to make highly calculated moves and be financially stable enough with 6 months of carrying costs for you personally as well as the home you're financing to flip/rent/etc. 

Next go to your city's public records however you can access it and find property values.
