Good day Adam, I think the new site looks great! A nice clean look. Plotting the properties on a map as a search feature would be handy to a renter. Jon

Good advice above. I also recommend to new investors to buy a property that is easy to sell again. Real estate investing is not for everyone. There is a good chance you will hate it and want out. In that event, you could be stuck with a property you cant unload and it is stressing you out...

Feel free to email me at [email protected]. I would be happy to refer my real estate agent. Jon

Good afternoon Stuart, Financing student properties is no easy game, and best done with deep pockets- which often makes them tougher to sell. A 65% LTV is actually not a bad place to be in my opinion. If the property cash flows well as you say, why not save up that cash, plus some of your...

Also, keep your long term goals in mind. If your goal is to own many investment properties, having only one name on title will certainly benefit you as most conventional lenders limit the number of mortgages per person to 5. If you and your wife are both on title, this counts as one mortgage...

Good afternoon Rooks! So you decided on Hamilton instead of Windsor I see. Couple questions... Do you intend to self manage? If this is the case, I would say a condo. (because of the distance) What is your time frame for investing? When will you require income from the property...

Piperella, What are your goals for the mid and long term? Say, 5 years and 10 years? Where do you want to be? Desired income/net worth etc? Life style? I found that getting VERY specific about your 5 and 10 year goals really helped me carve out a path. Another good read regarding...

Keep saving as much as you possibly can while repairing your credit score. Beyond a bank account, I cant tell you where to put it because I have very little experience with stocks/bonds/gold/silver etc. You will want your credit score to be as good as possible so you can obtain the best...

Hey Brad! Why don't you keep us posted on the improvements in your life from the AQ Adventure, and your real estate portfolio along the way. I'm sure some readers here would love to journey with you. Congrats! Jon

Some good points above- however, i would add that a good majority of people find that Real Estate investing isn't for them very quickly. (risk tolerance, time, not suited to there personality etc, want the money for something else) And for that reason, a condo would likely be a good first...

Rickson, Is it unlikely to hope and wait that enough investors will leave the Phoenix market to bring back your desired returns.... or are you moving onto greener pastures... Jon

I would be interested in such a group- Especially if my good friend Adam will be there. When will you meet?

One thing i would caution you on is to become an expert first with your own money. Never experiment with someone else's money. Make all your mistakes on your own dime- then attract some JVC. Good luck and happy investing :) jon

Way to go! Keep us posted on your success! jon

Right on, Thanks for taking the time to post that! If you don't mind, how many properties did you manage to snap up before it became less favourable? jon
