From what I understand, there was a lot of unscrupulous L/O practice occuirng in the valley (deep south Texas) and a lot of first generation immigrants were getting taken to the cleaners and loosing the shirts off their backs from predatory L/O operator practices.

My why is most certainly To break generational curses that have haunted my family for generations.At a young age I decided I was going to be "successful".

@Matthew Barnauskas welcome to the site.Some ideas for generating capital.Hard Money Lenders.Private Lenders.

The goals of the business plan are to flip 4 to 10 properties per year, and eventually hold a combination of single- and multi-family properties that generate over $4,000 pre-tax income per month.

@victoriawinters     yes your absolutely correct invest ....that's why when I read these articles stating that its possible to make money with out money or credit I'm wondering how ..how do you do this I've been in direct sales for over 15 years and I must say I work my tale off commission only ..I don't sale I don't eat lol..but I love people ..people are my passion and sales allows my to generate based on my efforts ...real estate investment would allow me to combine my two great loves and take it to the next level.

Actually,  think the CAD would be our county Assessor, who has all the property info an generates the tax appraisal amount, which is called an assessment here.  

If your expenses are low enough that you'll be able to generate some cash flow (I'm guessing the answer is no), then hang on to it as a rental.

My goal is to earn $10,000 per month in positive cash flow(Passive Income) in 5 years time frame.I am a new bee and new to investing in real estate/rental properties.I am looking for strategy/suggestions from all the experts in BP in order to achieve my goal.Some of the ideas, I am exploring are:-Buy 3-4 properties for 35-40k in mid-west, which generate $500-$600 positive cash flow-Use 100k as down payment(25%) and use leverage to buy 1 or 2 properties in high priced areas. 

Two distinct closes, two closing fees generated from the attorney.

Isn't the point of having apartment rentals to generate cash flow month in and month out so you can retire and live ofd the income?
