I “thought” they would come back and get the second in the next few days.Unfortunately four weeks went by and despite certified letters and phone calls to the previous owners from the realtor, it was never removed.Ultimately I paid a guy $275 to make it disappear.Obviously, I have not been happy having to deal with this problem for the last month and the fact that I had to pay for its removal is maddening.Especially since I feel that both realty companies, the previous owner and the contractor all walked away with my money and I was left holding this bag.In the future I will not make this mistake.But, my question to BP is whom should I attempt to get reimbursed?

I'm eager to succeed in this as I want real estate to be my avenue to financial freedom!

A lot of people in this market swear that it's still going to get higher, while a few financial "experts" seem to think that "winter is coming" (a correction).Besides the regular investment strategies (which I'm starting to implement soon), I really have the bug to put that FHA to work and get started (this would be my 2nd property, first is already a rental in Austin), I just think I'm missing something and I'd like your opinions. 

But, being committed to my family and financial freedom fueled my “Why”.

I'm interested in your input regarding areas with higher levels of real estate activity now or in the future, or areas that are conducive in general for real estate sales agents to focus on. 

The best book I have found on this is What Every Real Estate Investor Needs To Know About Cash Flow ...and 36 Other Key Financial Measures– Frank Gallinelli

In the near future, we will do more flips and would like to own a cash flow property as well.  

My partner and I both have good credit and good jobs at major financial services firms but limited capital. 

Our goal is to do our first small multi-family deal.I found BP a few years ago but didn't really get focused until we were financially ready to take this next step.  

Columbus has two REIAs, Chillicothe has one, and it's the one I attend (planning on going to Columbus in the near future).
