I think you have to be pretty savvy to flip homes in Texas, as the property tax is just nasty. Also, in this market, I'd be happy to hold on to the homes and rent them out. I just need to get into a spot where I can buy my first.

Most of the offer that come in are 12 months or so but keep your credit good and at the end you can ALWAYS roll over to another 0% cc offer. |

Credit: $500
Car: $4,300 School: $100 Interest Free Parent Loan: $600 $hit that aint nothing. Buck up and pay off the $100 first. Pay your parents last. Stop using the credit card and knock it out fast, then apply all of that to your car. It will take no time to knock that out. I've knocked out a lot of debt in the last 2 years, and cash flowed some major projects at the same time. We currently owe 50k on her law school loans and the only other thing is out mortgage, which we are planning to pay of 15 years early. Let your money work for you, not the other way around. Good luck. Wish I did this when I was your age. |

Iowanian give great advice. My first house was small and built in the 50's. I figured out how to roof and side it myself, then finish the basement. Anything can be done if you research it. 10 years later I was the general contractor on my own house, doing some of the work myself. ps. I should admit I don't do major plumbing. Changing out toilets, sinks, and faucets is about t. |

Renting is not throwing money away. Foreclosing on a house is throwing money away and ask the thousands who did it.

There is a phrase I use and it's called. "Save myself poor" If you get that gig and you can make that kind of money, live down to the min whenever possible while having a good time. Its an easy life. |

I don't know what it is, but you have a skill or knowledge that you can turn into an extra $100+/week.
That is enough to make a difference in what you're trying to do. |
