Hi everyone,

My name is Jen and I'm new here and new to real estate investing. My husband and I are researching and learning as much as we can and hope to make this a part-time side business.

We own a home that we can't sell because of foreclosures in our neighborhood. We simply can't compete. That's what brought me here looking for information, resources and tips on how we can not only fix our current situation but also profit from it and more deals in the future.

Other than the personal purchase of our own home we've never done a real estate deal. Credit is good, money is low. ;)

I've been interested in real estate investing for several years and even (gasp!) bought the Carleton Sheets course in the mid-90's! =) So I know just enough to be dangerous!

I'm excited to learn from you, get to know some of you better and hopefully find myself on the more knowledgeable side of these forum posts a few years down the road.
