Newbie from Atlanta

[N/A N/A]

Hi y'all! I just ran across this forum today, and decided to join. I just walked off my job a few days ago, because it all got to be too much. My grand scheme was to quit it in order to get my RE License (one of their rules) but as life would have it, my roommate got laid off last week, and I don't have enough savings set aside to cover every eventuality and a year off to get a real estate career going.

Anyways - I really do want to get in on the investing side of things far more than I want to be an agent, and I do have a mentor that I will be working with, but he's not in-state. And it may be a while until he's down here. My interests are in rehabbing, renovations and rentals.

My Ideal job is Ginger to Richard Davis (for those of you who watch the Trademark Properties shows). Actually I want to be Richard some day but all in due time. Anyways I came across this site, after finding a listing for "Property Locators" on Monster.com, and doing some cursory research on whether Real Estate Arena was a scam or not. I'm leaning towards yes.

In any case - being a property locator sounds like a great way to start learning the ropes. However I'm open to just about anything, especially since I'm going to need some money real soon. Anyone know of an Investor in Atlanta that needs a Treo-holder and Starbucks-getter? I'll do it for the opprotunity to learn (and a modest paycheck). In the meantime - I'm going to soak up as much information as possible from the boards here.
