Thanks Thearm.
My oldest brother is a Financial Advisor/Investor. I gotta be careful giving him any money.
Just kiddin'. He's a good guy and I will be more than happy to start sending some money his way once I get this mortgage off my back in about 7 years(hopefully).
I like the idea of investing in real estate. I'm quite the handyman, so once I get a little more cash to work with I'm gonna start lookin' for fixerupers. I think the term is "flip" and that's what I want to do in my spare time. Buy foreclosed or beat up homes, put in a couple grand, and alot of TLC and make a little extra cash. My brother hates when I talk like this b/c that means no money for him.
We'll see, with the way new home construction has been going around here I might have to give up tile and flip full-time.
