Newbie from St. Louis, MO Saying Hello

[N/A N/A]

Hi. My name is Kim and I'm 37 yrs young...I live just south of St. Louis, MO (home of the arch).

I've been fortunate enough to marry a man in construction and We have been very lucky to have built ourselves 2 houses to live in. This has helped us tremendously in equity.

This has really got me interested in real estate. I was actually really close to becoming a real estate agent until the market just dropped out in our area. Now, I'm realizing that rentals and foreclosures may be the way to go.

The first thing I did to get started was to sign up for RealtyTrac's free 7 day trial to see what's out there in my area for foreclosures, and get a couple books from my local library on real estate investing.

Somehow researching online led me to your site. I don't know how, but it did.

One thing we had done 6 months ago was to get a line of credit with our home equity of $60k for property to build again, if we found some land. Now, I'm thinking of using this line of credit towards a foreclosure. I just have lots of researching to do before jumping in.

I'm hoping your site will help me with that.

Anyway, just a little about me. Nice to be here. It seems like a great wealth of knowledge.
