The thing that is holding me back is "ME". It starts and ends with "ME" no matter what.

 Hey Steve you have a better start than most. My advice is to educate yourself as much as possible about real estate before you spend a dime of that money on anything related to real estate. That way when you do invest it you will know how to make it keep working for you.

When I saw your post I went over to check him out, because I've never heard of him. But that doesn't mean that the information is not good. Listen Chris, in any industry information is the major key and what YOU do with that information is whats going to determine your success or not. So it all depends on you. There are some good programs out there and there are some bad programs out there, but the winning formula is how determined are you to succeed. If you want to try the Chris Goff program try it. I know that you are trying to save money by not buying a dud program off the bat and I get it, but sometimes in business there are risk. So I suggest reading all of his free stuff first (if he has any) then read another gurus free stuff, and read all of Biggerpockets free stuff along with BPs free advice. But in the end go ahead and make a decision to buy the course or not. I can tell you all of this good stuff about how I was doing well in the Chris Goff program and you can the program and flop because you didn't do what was required. If you don't remember anything I've said in this post remember this, "Success and Failure begins and ends with YOU. Let me know if you need help with anything. Welcome to BP. 

Sorry to be brutly Honest, but I hope this makes help you grow.

First order of business is to join your local REIA and network. This is were you will meet everyone that has anything to do with real estate industry. You can also contact me anytime, I will be glad to answer questions if I can or point you in the right direction.

Harlan & Associated 5775 Glenridge Drive, Building B, Suite 550, Atlanta, Georgia 30328 . My RIEA uses them and they are very investor friendly. I just sent them some of my contracts to look over and they recommended their contracts. They have done so many creative real estate closings that the Georgia Real Estate Commission went to them to get an explanation of how assignment contracts work. So I think  I'll use them from now on.  Contact me if I can help with anything else.

Hello Astrid welcome to America. I will always tell a newbie to the business to learn everything you can about the business that you are about to embark in. Education is the Key. At the top of this page you will see an "Education" tab, this will open a drop down menu with pages you can go to see videos, podcast, and comments on the Real Estate industry. I am not familiar with NZ ways or laws pertaining to real estate but I want to get you off on the right foot. If you are really serious about real estate I suggest engulfing yourself in reading books, watching videos, and finding out who are the top RE investors in America and reading their books. There many Gurus in the industry that offer online courses as well that give some valuable information. Some also offer small, medium, and large price courses. I have studied some of the courses and have even purchased some. But I have utilized what I have learned from these courses and the power of this site to grow my knowledge about real estate. Once you have enough information about the industry you will know who to listen to and who NOT to listen to on this site and any other site dealing with real estate. The brutal truth is that almost everyone has an agenda and majority of the time that agenda is to help you grow your knowledge base and to possibly promote a product or service. Even I have something to offer in the way of service and I am going to be very honest about it. But once you get the knowledge you have to ultimately make the best decision for you and your business. So I hope you take my message to heart and start your education process. You can contact me at any time. Good Luck

When I wholetaile a property I clean it, cut the grass, trim the trees, clean out all of the debris inside and outside the house, board up any broken windows and make it easy to access by repairing or replacing the front door. I then list on the mls and the majority of the time children or other relatives that want to live nearby mom and dad will buy. I find that I get a lot more wholetailing than I would otherwise by selling to investors."

So Rob, when you do this are they qualifying for a loan or just paying cash as an investor would do?
