How I Used Real Estate to Completely Fund My Kid's College Education  Six months ago, my wife and I welcomed Rosie into the world — our first child. A week after she was born, I had her entire college education paid for without spending a single dollar of my own money. How? Through one single real estate investment.

A Lot of Determination and Dedication My husband and myself started this journey a little over a year ago. We had been reading off and on for a couple years (mostly off!) As it happened to almost everyone we know also, my husband lost his tech job. We decided it was time to jump into investing with both feet and hope that our work would pay off. It took almost two months to find our first deal. It was a

Investor Becomes Accidental Landlord & Survived Terrible Tenants This is a real estate investing success story but not without its ups and downs. In fact, the only reason I can call it a success story is because I learned a few very valuable and expensive lessons which I will not repeat. It gives a summary of some valuable lessons I learned through one particular rental property. Lesson 1 - Don't Be an Accidental Landlord I lived in a nice, large family home for 16 years before I decided to downsize to a smaller home. Instead of selling the property, for various reasons I decided

I love this business! My partner, Peter Lunsford, and I were contacted by a gentleman who'd seen our ad and wanted to quickly sell his high-end home ($400k+) located in an exclusive golf course community. A former corporate executive, he was now putting many of his resources into building a new business and no longer wanted the expenses of a 3600+ sq ft home with a pool. After seeing the house and talking with the gentleman and his wife, we made an agreement to purchase the property subject to for considerably under market value. We also found that they would like to move to a lower cost home (<$200k) in another neighborhood.

Landlord Revamps Property To Net Extra $4800 Hi Investors! My name is Erica Henry and I am proud to say that I am a Landlord in the Tacoma Washington area. I have been a real estate investor for the past 10 years. After I got laid off from Sun Micro Systems tech company, I took my severance check and bought a 4-plex. I moved into one of the vacant apartments and rented out the other three vacant units. I picked up this "dump" for cheap, because it need many repairs and the previous Landlord died and his daughter lived too far away to care for the property. I purchased the property 380 Stevens Ave for $209,000. I put

Newbie Successfully Learns To Wholesale On First Deal Nobody would believe this story except we got the checks to prove it. It was really so simple it's crazy. A newbie investor named Shaunte, from Baltimore Maryland, read my post on this site about making money while watching Judge Judy. She contacted me asking for help and I instructed her to place ads on Craigslist using the heading line: "I Buy Houses for $CASH$" Shaunte soon got a call from a wholesaler that had a junk house on contract for $6,000 and he wanted 6,000

My Amazing First Wholesale Deal They say you always remember your first kiss and your first Real Estate deal. I purchased a book on doing Real Estate Deals that I had seen on a late night TV commercial. It promised I could make a lot of money without having money or credit. I was desperate, I didn’t have any money or credit and the book was only $19.95+ $5 shipping. It’s funny because - I wasn’t skeptical at all - and I knew I could do it! I followed the instructions in the book and got a list of absentee owners and

Hi. My name is Sandor Gross. I am a fairly new real estate investor. New Part Time Investor Makes $5000 Using Craigslist For the last 14 years I have owned and operated a landscape business, in which I am my own boss. After many discussions with my wife, and the physical work and demand I put on my body on a daily basis, I have set a goal to retire from the landscape business in 5 years from now. I have come to realize the fact that even though I retire, I will not have enough money to live on, pay living expenses, and be able to support my family and put 3 kids through College. So I decided to make a change and learn something new

Subject-2 Saves Owner, Expands Investor's Portfolio I started buying homes "Subject-To" in November 2011. Since then I have bought 6. My grand exit-strategy is to market them as Owner Financing deals for credit challenged people. Here is an example of a Subject- To deal I just got last week. Very nice little 2 bedroom in a mid income neighborhood. Seller contacted me off one of my marketing ads and said that he wanted to sell. Of course I did my homework before returning his call. Home is worth about $50,000 and Seller owes $37,000. The sellers payments are $350 per month.
