Good luck James! I am curious about the details of this flip. Would you mind answering a few questions? How much did you purchase the house for? how did you finance it? How much did you pay in repair? How many months from the purchase of the house until now? How much money did you put up out of pocket? Thanks in advance!
Hey Josh. Sounds like a sweet plan. I have similar goals. I am looking to get $6k a month to replace me and my wife's salary. I am also new here. How are you planning to finance your first deals? Are you working now? What is your current salary?

I live in Atlanta, GA and over the past year I have been researching how to get stared in real estate investing. I would like to have some sort of mentor that I can help in exchange for knowledge, and somebody that I can just ask questions to and talk with.

I have been seeing across the entire city and suburbs these small road signs that advertise "Real Estate Investor Seeks Apprentice" they are all different, and some of them even make wild promises like "make $10,000 a week while you learn to invest!"

Are you guys familiar with this type of stuff? Some of these may be legit, but some of them...especially the ones who claim you will start off making $10,000 a week....sound like a scam.

How would a scam like this work? Would the first question they ask me be "are you willing to take out an $80,000 loan?

Hey Lee! Is this your first property? I am also an engineer, and I am about to marry an engineer in October! We both have the same thoughts as you. We are worried our desk jobs will not allow us to ever retire. We have been planning to start a real estate investing business for about a year now, and we have decided we are going to go full throttle after our wedding. Would you mind if I sent you a message? I would like to ask you a few questions about how you got started. It sounds like you and your wife are a bit further ahead than me and my fiancé. Thanks! Jeff
Hey guys! I have been starting to do research over the past year on how to get started in real estate investing. I am almost ready to start making some moves, but I would really love to talk to somebody who is investing. I have a question for some of your professionals out there. I have been seeing these signs ALL over Atlanta, GA and they all say something along the lines of "Real Estate Investor Seeks Apprentice" "Get Paid While You Learn!" "Start Making $10,000 A Week" I would like to be able to meet somebody that would let me take a peek into their world, and let me crunch some numbers for them and even review deals. Something about these signs...maybe the insane promises of starting out making $10,000 a week, or just the sheer volume of signs out there makes me feel like this is a scam. Do you guys have any idea what's up with all of these people seeking an "apprentice". I am worried if I give one of them a call the first question would be "can we take a $80,000 loan out in your name"?

hello! I currently have a business that provides custom made kitchen/bathroom/anywhere else cabinets! If you are interested in pricing please PM me and I will help you out. We are recently incorporated and I am more concerned with building a good reputation/portfolio than I am making extra profit.
