Welcome to the site @Nathan Patterson.  There is a ton of information on the topics you mentioned in your post so dig in.  I don't know if you will find much investment real estate in Antarctica but so long as you have a computer and an internet connection you'll be able to keep researching to be prepared when you get back.  BTW, I'm an Alumnus of USM also although my graduation was a couple of decades ago.  Good Luck!

Welcome to the Site @Jack Harris 

I'm new to investing also and have found a wealth of info here.  Jump in and get involved.  

I grew up in South Louisiana and spent a little time in Laplace as a teen.  How is the market out there these days?

Good luck with the flip.

@Mike Gennaro congratulations on your deal.

I don't believe that a notary is necessary for your transaction.  From what I have read on the Mississippi DOR site, the transaction is similar to a vehicle (car/truck) transfer which would just be a simple transfer of title.  I have never needed a notary when buying a car in Mississippi from a private seller who held the title.  If you want to ask the question directly however, here is the phone number for the MS DOR’s Title Bureau at 601-923-7200

@Chad Kerlin I believe New Orleans has a pretty active Real Estate Investors Association.

Try: http://www.neworleansreia.com/

I'm a good 90 minute drive to NOLA but I hope to make it to a meeting down there sometime soon.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the info Ken. I'll keep looking and let you know if I find anything.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

@Bryan Vincent, I couldn't agree more.  My hope is to help as much as being helped.

@Paul Timmins , Thanks for the recommendations.  I will definitely look into those sources and consider your suggestions as I am putting more detail to my goals.

@Darron Stewart , Look forward to connecting with you some time soon.

Anyone know of any REI Groups or Associations along the MS/AL Gulf Coast? I know there is a REIA group in New Orleans which I hope to attend some time soon but just wondering if there is one in South Mississippi or Southern Alabama.

Thanks.

Hello BP members. Just joined BP earlier this week after starting to read The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing on iBooks. I've had the opportunity to read a few forums and listen to a few of the BP podcasts in addition to the book. Great information all around. I'm new to REI although I've bought and sold properties in Pittsburgh, Mobile and the suburbs of Philadelphia as I've changed jobs. I've probably got some time before looking for my first deal, but I'm looking forward to a lot of learning and making connections in the South Mississippi, Gulf Coast and New Orleans areas.

Hi Darron. I'm in the Oak Grove area of Hattiesburg also. Just joined BP earlier this week while reading The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing in iBooks. I'm new to REI and probably some time away from my first deal, but glad to see someone from Hattiesburg on the site.
