So true about real estate investing. Depending on where you live and the type of real estate you're buying you can actually get tax rebates, etc. to pay your mortgage. It does require a lot of research, though. Plus given the amount of money involved in the transactions, it's not something anyone should just dive into.
Look up Asset-Based Lending or seller Financing.
Thanks. This is something I've actually wanted to look into for some time now.
