I'm a bit late in my reply (sorry), but I want to reach out and say thank you for the advice, Marcus: I have been listening to the podcasts and reading as much as I can, researching, and just getting a general idea all around,  haven't checked out the webinars yet but I do intend to, so I want you thank you for that, I appreciate it very much.

Chris: The learn tab is my friend! and I visit it daily, as with Marcus I appreciate you reaching out and giving advice, I will check out the local networks and see what's happening.

Thank You Both

James

Post: 0 Money and Fair Credit

Since I'm brand new to the whole world of REI, I have had a burning question or questions about, the simple fact of have no money and really fair credit, how does one start? In my younger days I was "smarter than the rest" I'd save later and be ok, now mind you I'm 34 this year and I had a bit of an apifiany and realized I need to get in gear and get my future going, I as I said am still learning, so as a student I find myself with as lot of questions. I have found some homes for sale for dirt cheap but my gut says probably not a good deal, and being brand new with no experience and no cash I am wonder if I can still get a lender tog finance a loan or would I just have to wait and build credit? Another question I have is about double wide in parks, can you buy them and rent them or are they are they really not worth the effort? I hope my jumble gets the point across, another thing I'd like like to know is I am a veteran, can a VA loan prove useful? Any information will prove useful. Thanks James

In all reality I am the "FNG", and to be honest I'm in the learning phase of everything about REI, and am trying to find my niche, I recently found the beginner's course on Udemy. I live in Michigan, and realized I need to planning for the future, after Listening to Money Master The Game by Tony Robbins and reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I want to secure it. As I mentioned above I am extremely new, and looking forward to a lot of learning.
