The next time your review and/or revamp your articles/blogs sections, please consider adding a like or favorite button that will save that page to our personal account or profile so we can go back at a later time to reread.  I want to remember what I loved reading!  :)

Huh, interesting stuff! Sounds logical and not too difficult a process.

I've been looking at properties in Louisville already.  Right now I'm trying to run through the analysis calculator on a few properties to become familiar and comfortable with the process, but I don't plan to purchase anything until at least end of September.  We'll see!

Thanks for the info @James Wilcox!

@Paul Timmins, all excellent advice thank you! 

I'll definitely add the REIA club meetings to the top of my goal list.

Love the idea of student housing and already occupied properties.  How would you renovate if people are already living there, would you just wait until they moved to work on the unit?

@James Wilcox, thanks neighbor! Any relation to Wilcox's in Radcliff, KY?  I may have went to church with ur cousins! ha.  Maureen Wilcox and I can't recall her husbands name...

Thanks Mark, appreciate the welcome!

Hello all,

I'm completely new to the world of real estate investing and figure "it's better to start now than a year later" as Brandon put it!

As a single mother, it's difficult to foresee a stable financial future when only earning one paycheck in the household. My entire career has been working as a government contractor and due to the lack of job security, I've lost my job multiple times.  So, I am seeking to join the experienced and successful while minimizing common newbie mistakes. If anyone is willing to coach/mentor, please do let me know! I'm currently in the process of reading "The Book on Flipping Houses" and so far the information is invaluable, but that is nothing when comparing to shadowing an experienced!  I'm like a sponge, feed me! :)
