2. Create Multiple streams of income.

Last year out of the blue my good friend from high school told me he has been investing in real estate and having some success. On Oct 12, he and I will be meeting a realtor specializing in forclosed vacation condos in the Gulf Shores Alabama area. If we can find one in our price range, we are going to make an offer. I will not put up over $10,000 since this is my first deal. I have to admit, I am nervous about this, but I was nervous when I started construction on my new home. I am going to have to trust my instincts. If we can get a low enough price, we will try to flip the condo, if not we will rent it as a vacation condo.
