I would pay around (25-28% fed tax + 8% state tax + 15% self employment tax) on that 60k.

My contract is up 12/31/11 and I would like to self manage.

My Goal is to become one of the most successful and respected RE Investors in the state of Maryland by providing Excellent services to people in need (Motivated Sellers) as well as provide lucrative amounts for my end buyers....and my self of course...lol

It's self-perpetuating and just results in more and more investor-owned as owner-occ's can't get financed.I talked to Wells last week about a conventional investor refi on a condo THAT MEETS the guidelines and was told that Wells no longer offers refi's to any investor owned condo's - regardless of the investor ratio.

Its also useful to assess the PMs and landlords in the area.

For what it's worth here are my observations.........1- 80% of the information on investing in real estate being sold ranges from totally worthless to incorrect and or possibly illegal2- another 10% might work under some circumstances but either the recipient of the information needs a much more educated and experienced background than he is led to believe or the circumstances regarding the success of the method being sold are limited to a certain geographical area or a certain type of market3- the 10% of information that has value requires work, dedication, persistence, education to be used successfully.4- Certain types of individuals can self study utilizing free information available online and learn as much or more as any program or course will teach them5- most gurus are not currently successful using the methods they teach; they may have once been successful in a particular type of market or in a particular location, but they are not currently utilizing the method they teach successfully.
