Stephanie,

Are your worries based on facts or beliefs? 

Investing in RE is just as it is with any other investment, nothing is certain. If your gut tells you not to do it, maybe your focus is elsewhere, and you don't really want to be an RE Investor.

Best to you!

Steven,

Actions speak louder than words. At least that is what I always tell my children.

Have you read over the beginners' guide? http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing

Follow the steps. Have you created your business plan yet? Do it. Follow it. I know it is an old saying--still viable--the journey of a thousand miles...

Best to you!

Holly,

Marketing is a simple matter of using the same tools over and over; direct mailers, phone calls, more direct mailers, post cards, etc. etc.

Build relationships. Get to know the people that matter--or who you'll need in your area--and work your business.

Marketing is what it is. Just do it consistently.

Best to you!

Student will trash the place, and they are gone for 3 months of the year.

Brett,

There are too many data resources out to name. What are you looking to accomplish?

Would recommend a Pro investment to find a buyer, or reach out to your local REIA Group.

Best to you!

Welcome, and best to you Shawn!

Ashton,

There are numerous lenders out there right now with cash to lend to any type of business, and some without FICO or FICO below 550.

Ask the questions that should be asked of any company like this, and guard yourself.

Best to you!

Hi Denise,

SF? Look to your local REIA for thoughts. Commercial? Reach out to a CCIM certified business/person.

Best to you!
