Newbie - highly interested in investing in real estate.
Hello,
I am a Newbie to BP. I recently secured a position with a company that is paying me very well, and now starting to pack away some money with hopes to begin investing in real estate. I currently work 7 days per week, but I do have free time during the day to log onto my PC for personal activities. I'm looking for recommendations and guidance for investing in real estate online. Is there such opportunity? Can I begin to build my empire remotely? Thank you.

We invest long distance but in an areas that we had always established. I also work alot. The key I have found is finding an area that the numbers work. Get to know it and build a trusted team. I know just look at the house and ask less than 5 questions. Based on those answer I either put an offer or don't. I tend to look at the house during the inspection but that is usually the first and last time.
