Here is my story:

I have been waiting to invest in real estate for three years. For one reason or another, I was not ready. But I am now and have arrived.

I am closing in May on my first investment property. I have set a goal to purchase 10 houses and have an annual net income of $300.00 monthly per house. I have one down and nine to go.

From what I have seen in the past three years, I believe having tenants who rent with the option to buy is the way for me to go. I have set my first purchase up with a renter and he will take advantage of this option in three years. I also purchased a HUD home with no needed repairs and low closing costs (I'm Blessed, I know).

I anticipate my next deal to be even easier! The hard part was actually just finding the right deal! I can't wait for the next one!

Thanks to everyone (especially CRE Online), who shares their stories, good or bad. I love to read them and have learned a lot from them!

Good Luck and God Bless to Everyone!
