You find people who invest already by networking and looking for marketing material by people who already buy houses.

Kitchen is ripped out and builder material is damaged from a dishwasher leak.

Where is the best way to get started on reading material ?

Hi - I'm Sunny, a former Realtor and a seasoned investor who writes (and ghost writes) real estate PR and educational materials.

.), podcasts, mp3s,)I'm willing to to cut off the radio, pandora and netflix permanently but I really need great quality material to replace the entertainment stuff.about me: After many years spent not knowing which career path to take and switching after a few years in a few areas, I have finally figured it out...

Licensees do not have this ability, they must share any material defects they are aware of, with no ability to waive the disclosure.  

We use Lowes LAR account for most of our materials.  

You need to meet folks there and get to know them.I'm not sure I'm buying the valuation you are suggesting, if homes sell for 10K even with repairs I doubt they would hit 100K, not without 80 or 85K in materials and labor.Some vets are on drugs, not all, I wouldn't even go there, it's not the general assumption.Sorry to hear of your MIL, but I wouldn't bring that up either, others may perceive you as being disparate and to negotiate a deal you can never appear to be disparate.Find a partner, most likely someone who is in the area working on a house today could be one to cut a deal with.Get an option on another property, you don't have funds to be messing with auctions.You could go to the auction too, just to meet other investors who buy, you offer the construction side on terms rather than hourly or contract for the job.

I am told the housekeeping will just replace with the alternate sheets and towels and bring back the other next time.

I personally have no material desires beyond a comfortable home, reliable transport, and internet access.Back on topic, yes, similar cashflow could be achieved with $60K houses that rent for $1K/month.
