We all know they are the vast minority, but they are the ones that are going to dictate public policy and the ones people remember.

You'll live much more inexpensively, won't need much cash to put down, and will be able to start cash flowing (assuming you buy it right) right away.Just remember that there are many more expenses than just the down payment.

I remember reading that you pick properties up for around 34k.

I just can't remember the code number I quit buying preforeclosures right after the laws in OR and WA were enacted...I think a lot of this stemmed as well from the Florida companies that were charging 1000 to 1,500 telling people they will keep them out of foreclosure... only to have many lose their homes..

In addition, it’s easy not to remember exactly where a roof vent or sky light is underneath the snow and ice.

Remember that the returns on a rental property are not just the cash flow... don't forget to factor in equity pay down, depreciation, and appreciation.

Another thing to remember is the 1% or 2% does not always apply when you are house hacking.

I remember paying 24 dollars for it. 

Remember your time is worth something. 

The first thing to remember is that 80% of your peers will neve have this realization.
