A necessity for a political junky like me.mediamatters (org); anthing that gets as much hate from the right wing press must be doing a great job. city-data (org); want to know any statistics about a city or zip code, this is your site.

The big question would be do you want to be Active in investing or do you want a passive investment.What many call real estate investing is really just a high paying Job.

So here are the numbers:-I have 260k in equity in a triplex I've owned for some time (I also live there)-I have a full time job earning 41 000$/year (been there 5 years)-I get rental income of 850$/month from the unit that's rented-My credit score always hovers around 740-I have no credit card debt or any type of debt whatsoever except for the mortgage on the triplex (155k left to pay)What's the most profitable way to take things from here.

I've had one job where the highest was triple the lowest.

Had I screwed up the second chance the would have rightfully taken the home but I got a 2nd job and it worked out.I found a very affordable website and crm last night that has a totally customizeable website.

I have a concrete sidewalk in a backyard, which was made by a do-it-yourselfer and it was a badly done job.

I'm taking a young start at 25 and hopefully I can use this to venture away from my job because... sitting in a small cube all day, 5 days a week, month after month, is.. well most of you probably know already.

Not a problem Anyandall...a Realtors job is a tough one...thanks again

I started out with no debt and ended up with student loans and was only making $30K at my job after all was said and done.

If the place is out of shape, then they should help get it back to renting condition.I wouldn't expect someone to get a vacancy filled immediately, but if someone is doing the job, then you shouldn't have the worries that you currently have.I've been through what you're going through and it is VERY frustrating.
