Thank you to anyone who's willing o help out :-)


You have to surround yourself with the environment you want to influence you. Get yourself around capital minded peeps as much as you can. Get yourself surrounded by positive minded peeps.

You gain capital at a level you believe you are able to. Your reality of cash flow is self determined by yourself at all times.

Good luck bully boy.

What kinda info are you referring to that I can get from title companies? Are you saying title companies will give me leads (aka addresses) on potential properties in foreclosure, etc? That would be great. Thanx.

Curious if anyone on here uses Foreclosure.com in any consistency to find potential investment properties. Is it worth the $40/month or am I better off just getting info from local data sources? Any input would be appreciated.

Poop style stories rule amigo!!! Lots of great peeps on this forum enjoying their investment experience. Don't overthink the intention of the statement.

Get your degree for sure before you get serious about investing. You have a good load of info going for you that is going to help you make you a slew of cash in the near future if you use it effectively. Get your degree and plan your investing following that accomplishment.

My slew may be diff. from your slew. Don't worry about waiting for the market to bottom. It's an inefficient process that many investors take. Smart investers don't live by the market. They live by the calculated profit made by potential investments.

That's excellent you are studying the business arena. I have a BS in MIS which has helped me tremendously in REI.

I would say consider getting yourself situated income wise before you start running your own business. It takes capital to run a business effectively.

All that being said, there are many ways to make cash in RE without capital.

My argument for internship is that it can be used as a tool to get cash in the bank prior to graduation. I realize you are close to graduation yet I still support internships as a good tool to make needed cash prior to and after graduationg. That cash will help make your investment goals more flexible and ultimately more realistic.

You clearly have experience so what are you thinking of as potential investments?

I am just trying to decide what to do after college....While a normal job would be nice, I am afraid that it would consume most of my time and decrease my ability/interest to work in RE/investment.

You sound like you have no interest in your studies at college.

What is the degree you are working towards?
Can you use that degree to your advantage in REI?
What are your job options after you graduate? 9-5 only making money for another?
Are you looking for internships that can help get you comfortable and more flexible when you graduate?
Are you looking to use your degree to your advantage while you invest in RE or are you wasting time getting a degree you will never make good use of?

Check out the following book:
Building Wealth One House at a Time: Making it Big on Little Deals
John Schaub.

I know it is on Amazon and you can find it in some bookstores. John makes a point about focusing on buying an investment property rather than a home. He rented for about 9 years and found he could lease/option better homes than he could afford to buy until he had made some serious money investing. The higher end homes rent for less proportionally than the lower priced homes. The book is a good read. Given you knowledge of what homes have potential you could do really well.

John Corey

Appreciate the input John. I have been looking for a good book targeted towards my interests. Schaub's book is in transit as I speak (type). Thank you.

Whether or not you actually read this, you are likely to be very profitable long term. The ab-normal stems from positive self perception at all times.

There is everything ab-normal about your actions. You are fighting for what is most important. That's all that counts in the long run.

I went from a normal nothing in Tucson working as a college graduate at Wally World to going to Yuma for a new career and ultimately oppertunities galore. I have since been able to save all dollars so I could build up that bank account just like you did. Everything is perspective.
