Thanks Greg, I've been reading all day, great info.

Thanks Jad, appreciate it.

Don, thanks for responding. I wish I would of seen the boom coming, hindsight is 20/20. I'd be a wealthy man now, Oh well. I've been watching the foreclosures diligently, the last two HUD deals close to here that I thought were good, I couldn't bid because of the "exclusive" listing. By the time the non occupant owners can bid it seems they are picked clean. I'm still a little leery about being a long distance landlord, maybe in the future. I'm unfortunately not in a position to put a lot of money into a fixer upper right now, so that limits my options as well. I am no doubt new to this though and may be missing opportunities.
I do like the propertyanalyzer that I got on this site, it's a great tool for us new investors.

I just signed up for BP however I have read on your site for some time now. I'm a new real estate investor, my partner and I have accumulated 3 properties in the last year, one duplex (converted SFH) and two SFH's. I have gained a lot of knowledge from this site and will continue to learn from the experience here. I live about an hour west of San Antonio and we are having quite the oil boom here, which is a double edged sword because rentals are in high demand, but property prices have shot up as well making it hard to find property that will work...but anyway, my goal is to aquire 2-3 properties a year for the next 5-10 years for "passive" retirement income.
