You think I would learn alot about the career doing something else?

The good news is that we don't really have bad neighborhoods (at least not if you've ever lived somewhere else).Going outside the city, you can find a ton of 2br apartments in complexes.

This is called a “leaseback” purchase and at the end of the stated time, your lease will expire and the property will be owned by someone else!

If one does not already own a home, it depends on who's mortgage one wants to pay, their own or someone else's.

A 625 score is not going to qualify you for the best rates or programs available so you need to go in with your eyes wide open.Good luck and yes there is money to made in RE it takes work and effort just like anything else in life.

It would be truly wonderful not to have to rely on someone else's business (as an employee) at some point!

The listing agent has the power, so if you working with a guy with a lot of inventory its likely that same agent is up to date on everything else thats for sale in the market.

I read a book and there was an expert that mentioned that rehabbing (if done correctly) could be lucrative in any type of market conditions (i.e. hot, slow, big, small, etc.)Anyone else agree with these statements?

If you've got school or other things to worry about, you might just want to put it somewhere safe, like those or even government I bonds (which are guaranteed to keep pace with inflation) until you're really ready to spend time doing real estate invesments.As to avoid getting screwed over by someone else, just don't ever sign anything until you've read and understand it.

How else does it compared?
