I was looking for a part-time job, but it was too little money, I even thought about playing casino!

Nice job avoiding the soap box grandwally, seems like we all have to tread lightly on that subject.To answer the question, most experienced investors do shoot for a minimum of $100 per month, per door in cash flow.

And if you don't have experience landlording, how are you going to know if a management company is doing a good job or not?

Long term, after I have income from another job I want to have rental properties.

As long as there is no damage, then you can't really say much about how they live..I dunno..I agree that a woman not married with 7 kids makes bad choices, and I hate to say this, but I figured, she may never get a job, as how could she afford day care.

Wheatie,Thanks for the thorough rundown and the insights.Its great to know you have a full time job and could spend time rehabbing a property.

But having a job and doing this rehab myself seems to be taking forever.

I'm being told I have to of worked in a job related to my education for at least a year in order to obtain a mortgage.

I also have a regular job which I get a w-2 form..

The quickest way I know to build your cash is a JOB.
