how is it?

You can make it hard on yourself or easy on yourself. I only buy property for $0.50 on the dollar or less. I charge under fair market rents and only get perfect tenants. Don't rent to the first dude that has the money. I like really old people and young couples.

As in how do I find the best deals? HUD homes have been gold for me. Also, have you seen the signs around every city that says "CALL ME I WILL BUY YOUR HOUSE TODAY"? Those are the best. My number has been up there before....

The absolute BEST information on real esatate investing is on

www.biggerpockets.com

I've learned a lot there.

Can't say on here. If I tell the truth, I'll either be called out for bragging/new money/a-hole or called a liar.

I am curious to know how others in my field and other fields do in comparion, but you're just not gonna get much truth on here.

graduate from May of this year.

You could at least give us your field.

I'll play along simply because I don't care if I'm poor or bragging.
