If I paired up with an attorney....Do you think I would be okay? They know more laws and other things that I don't know.  I would also hope to get a foreclosure so I can flip it. That would be ideal. I really appreciate all your input. I want to view this from all different perspectives.

I was recently introduced to the concept of investing in tax lien certificates.  I guess you can  earn 20% on your investment and it could also possibly turn into a tax lien deed. Is this a relatively safe investment? What should I know? What should I be careful of? Has anyone had good or bad outcomes? 

I like to allow tenants to have pets. There has to be a limit though that is agreed upon. I feel that if I allow them to have pets, they will be more long term tenants. It is hard to find apartments that allow pets. I also make sure I collect a security deposit in case there is any damage beyond normal wear and tear. If you do collect a security deposit, it has to go into an escrow account and it can't exceed one month rent.

Welcome! I am also from Massachusetts. What kind of real estate investing classes did you take? I recently went to The Flipping Formula preview. I didn't go to the three day seminar but I left feeling very intrigued.  

Thanks everyone for making me feel welcome!  

@Dell Schlabach I am going in any direction of sales right now. I'm just trying to grab hold of opportunity as it arises. I do have an in interest in newly constructed homes. I would like to find out how to acquire listings like that. I am assuming that you need to know contractors? I also have an interest in investing in tax lien certificates. I don't know to much  about them though. I need to learn more before I act.

@Josh Parra that name Mike Lacava sounds soooo familiar. I was looking for events to go to. Thank you so much for this information. I will look it up.

Hello everyone! 

       My name is Amber and I am very new to all of this. I am from Taunton, MA and I am also a licensed real estate agent. My goal of joining this site is to learn more about investing in real estate. I hope to position and educate myself to invest successfully. I actually came across this site because I was googling "real estate investor mentor". It would be awesome if I could find a mentor. Real estate for me is not just about making money. It is my hobby.
