Hello from Los Angeles, CA

[Adam Harrison]

Hello, my name is Adam Harrison. I fix computers for a living. I have read a ton of real estate books, from people such as David Lindahl, Gary Eldred, Reggie Brooks and Matthew Martines. I am very interested in getting started in real estate, but I currently don't have the money for a down payment, so I am continuing to study real estate while I am working on improving my credit and putting together money together for a down payment. I look forward to doing my first deal soon.

I'm looking at starting my investing career by investing in single family properties in the mid-west. I have seen several companies that do prepackaged deals on these properties, such as Integrity Real Estate Properties, Texas Investor Homes and Buckingham Investments ([LINK REMOVED]). Does anyone have any experience with these companies or any other similar companies? Are these properties really deals or are they high priced dumps?
