Hi,
I think to be a good real estate investor, you should have some passions to get the return of what you have invest.
At the same time you must have good analytical skills and have good interpersonal skills.
Thanks.

i took a stab at it 10 years ago with a 4-plex in las vegas. my plan was to pick up several other units and retire early but with me living in california i went through 3 property managers in 4 years. they were nickel and diming me to death because i had no controll being so far away. i ended up selling it for a GAIN of 5K, i have just been sitting on my cash and adding to it for the past 10 years.

now with this big downturn in the housing i began to look at investment property once again but this time in my own state. i found los banos, only 45 miles away from me, houses that im picking up peaked out at $350K and im snagging them for $70-90K. ive picked up 4 so far this year and have since been laid off, it fell perfectly into my hands because now im collecting unemployment and the monthly rental income. im making 11-13% return on my investment and figure to recover my full investment within 8 or 9 years. being only 45 miles away i can keep tabs on the property manager and he knows it.

the moral of my story is do not invest out of area.

Real estate is a very good platform to earn a lot in a very short period. And also you should have a very good data transfer knowledge..

Being successful in real estate investing is much like being successful in building relationships in forums: You're not going to be successful by just trying it once.

Hopefully we see more contributions from you in the future.
