Right now I own two rental properties, but really want to get into 'Subject to', and other innovative investing strategies.  

Sounds like it was probably terrible copy, even a terrible list would have produced some results with decent copy.

Steve Babiak you're correct, I miss stated I was meaning in the sense of owner financing and having a note that would be producing income to the seller, since her concern is the possibility of losing her tax credit.

Some activities are time occupying activities and don't produce cash flow to cover your overhead.

Any opinions as to whether these types of properties appreciate long term as well as other income producing properties?

When dealing with income producing real estate (multi family) how likely are the banks to give loans on the basis of the income potential of the property and not the investors credit score and down payment?

You can check out http://www.tcso.org/tcsoweb/Auctions.aspx to see what's up for sale.There are some good bank owned deals in the Tulsa metro area and I've heard from several other investors that the sheriff auction is starting to produce some good deals again.As far as mentors, you would be surprised how much you can learn just by hanging out at the auction or a real estate investing club.

excellent choice...Mine came on board after reading 'The Millionaire Next Door'& since then everything we own is paid for & producing excellent returns.90% of MY success in this business is having an understanding, committed wife.
