If the seller lowers the price significantly and it turns out just to be damaged finishes, you could well come out ahead of the game.

The web site is something that I can afford to have done so I can continue doing more important tasks to find deals.Mailers, answering the phone, wife 4 kids, mow lawn, part time job, driving for dollars, podio, probate listings, Excel files, chess, video games, $$$, call leads, oil change, eat, sleep, breath, omg kid again, twice in one night, how is that even possible. lol Yea you know the drill.          

It works and its a numbers game is what they say.

One of the things that helped me when starting out was to constantly play the Cashflow 101 board game.

It's strictly a numbers and time game.

You are already in the game!

I have seen/heard about how crazy the REI game is, especially in my home area.

And from there you can have a big picture of how much cash flow you need.Route 1: Hard money lendersRoute 2: Conventional MortgagesRoute 3: Portfolio LendersRoute 4: Private investorsRoute 5: Cash AdvancesI can keep sugegsting but the point is where you are today, what skin you have in the game, what's your goal and how are you thinking to achieve the goal

Very green and very new to the game.

Real Estate is a percentage game.  10% Cash on Cash return on ten 10k deals is the same as 10% CoC on one 100k deal.
