Hello All. I'm currently starting all over again in the real estate world after having to short sale 2 properties during the housing bubble burst. Ive learned my lesson and Im ready to get back in with better knowledge this time around.

My credit is good (I qualify for a loan). And I have some start up money available. About 20k, but it would be nice if I didn't have to use it. haha

I am very interested in acquiring property and lease optioning to tenants. I like the idea of nicer properties that don't need much work and the extra care a potential owner will have for the properties. Sandwich lease opts are very attractive too.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me to give me a little bit of a jumpstart? Would it be in my best interest to focus on getting a buyers list started before I even look at properties? Where could I find some solid contracts to protect me legally?

Any help would be much appreciated
