I am in the Philly suburbs. I am fairly new to the investment world but I am a general contractor and looking to get into rehabbing.

Appreciate the info Ed! I'll check out those sites tonight and I will look into other strategies a little deeper.

Thanks again Ann, I will look into that option. Can never have enough resources... I think I want to maybe try and just really organize all the different research better with my own hand written notes. Maybe make myself a guide for each step of the process.

I'm sorry I should've mentioned, I am going to be rehabbing with a partner and he is getting his real estate license (almost done classes). After I get the new job I am going to be taking classes for real estate appraisal.

Hey all, I currently work for a construction services company and my boss has been low on work for a while so I've been sittin more than I'd like because I'm not finding much side work either. I have that situation covered though I'm studying for my stationary engineers license with a job I got lined up almost double my current salary and guaranteed 40+ a week. But that's not until I finish a big(3 and a half month) job I start in September I told my boss I would stick around for. So basically from now til september other than studying for my test I'm gonna have more of these sittin days. That's my negative. I'll be sitting around the house not spending a dime because I'm not making a dime for 16 hours, how could I use this time in a positive manor to improve my knowledge to become a rehabber. What can I do to be productive towards my real estate investing that is my true passion and will be my full time job eventually. My financial situation would make it a bit hard for financials at this current situation. Also I'm 23 and live with my parents so I don't have equity.

I would agree with the previous posts... the agent should be looking in YOUR best interest... also I have heard just what J Scott said.. Short sales are ironically long sales
