Thank you for your responses...I am happy to say that my friend is proving to be very supportive and actually wants to work with me...my step-father and I have a poor relationship...he is not really like a father....it isn't a bad/volatile situation just kinda cold...it's a long story and there are many children in my family, so he keeps his distance...with time, if I stay interested, he could be an ally...but I don't see him as a mentor...

I am excited to be a part of this community...also there is a local REIA meetup tomorrow that I will attend. There is some kind of 90 day free trial before I have to pay dues they say on their meetup.

Thanks guys.

Hi, my name is Katie.  I am super new at this...I went to a Fortune Builders 3 Day thing this past weekend...lol!  

I had read about it...kinda knew what I was getting into and I went there with my eyes open...and it was a little bit worse than expected...haha.

Anyway, I really do want to learn.  One of my very close friends who lives in another state has experience with some real estate investing...so I have her.  And my step-father is kinda big time in my little home town,...owns a lot of property....But it is new to me.

I am curious about how to figure out if a "bad" neighborhood is worthy of buying homes in...obviously they have cheaper houses and more opportunities for motivated sellers...

I just drove by a pretty bad looking house (boards in the windows, roof damage, etc) Realtor.com has it for $30K...??  So, how do you even begin to know if you should explore something like that?

Too broad a question...??  Is this the wrong place to post this....well, I am new, so maybe someone can help me...

Thank you in advance.

Warmly,

Katie
