Although I think reading up and learning are great things, I'm not sure the classes you are planning to take will target what you are wanting to learn. Maybe you can find a local investors group in your area and see if they have some ideas about how to research or study what you specifically want to do.

If you require structure, you may talk to other investors who can hire you to do their legwork while you learn from them. When you are ready to go out on your own they can be a part of your experience in the areas of support and structure. This forum looks like a great place to start.

A mentor is a great idea as well.

Thanks Joshua for your welcoming me here. I have always focused on residential real estate listings although I did handle some residential and commercial leases. Although I have a lot to learn and re-learn, I also have some insight and experiences that might be helpful. Sometimes learning comes from teaching. Thanks again and I hope to be able to help others.

When I sold our house FSBO (not recommended unless you have some RE experience) I used ForSaleByOwner and searched for other sites to advertise. I sold our house in 30 days while in an 86 DOM area for similar houses. They might be useful but I can't guarantee it.

I'm still reading up on the rules so I hope posting these don't violate anything. If they do, I will remove them.

Put .com for most of these but you can also try .info and .net at the end of each:

Have you thought about using several domain names to promote your website? In doing so, you can create an index page for that domain name specific to each niche you are targeting and create links on that page to pertinent areas of your main site.

Hi all, just stopping by to "introduce" myself. My name is Kim and although I've been in the real estate business before I am just starting out again. I'm glad I found this site and am looking forward to learning more as well as being able to contribute useful information to help others.
