Along with how having something that can supplement my main source of income, even if just slightly, can be a life saver.

As far as my goals, Im not looking to transition into f/t sales; I plan to maintain my full-time job, while buying and selling my own property as well as generating supplemental income from sales as an agent.

I barely recognized it because it was on the edge of town on much more property and I realized it was vacant!  

I don't see it quite that clear cut.

There are a few that will mess around a bit and get you published in another county and change your address around for a lot less, but I didn't want cut that corner.

I believe that only spending on necessities and cutting costs where I can for them will be helpful in supplementing additional money that I lose to my debts.

Read Books that will change your thinking from "Theres no deals here to I will find that one that someone missed"Asses your life to see how much crap you can cut out of it.

I have a full-time job in an unrelated field (computer science) and am looking not just to supplement that income with real estate but to really grow a self-sustaining multi-family real estate business, using this incredible inheritance as a jumping off point.

It was cut croockedly.

Also I believe lenders usually will only refinance up to 85% of the appraised value of the property which also cuts into the amount of equity you have.Im actually in the exact same situation right now
