If you want to get your money out of the bank and into real estate there is certainly nothing wrong with that idea. Just make sure you buy a solid property and if you plan to rent it, be sure it's in an area that has solid rental demand.

Along with that, make sure the numbers make sense as a rental, which you can check using the property calculator. It's on my http://scaredycatguide.com/ site if you want it. You can download it there.

As for the nuts and bolts - reading the blog posts on my site (or on here if you can find them from last year.) will give you most of the info you need.

Of course, you are more than welcome to grab a copy of my e-book that walks you through it from step 1 of buying to then renting it . It will be available on paper back too in about a week, which I will announce.
