Investing is a profession and doing it right takes a certain level of effort.Of course, the flip side is that without direct MLS data...the full data and not the watered down version off Realtor.com...it's harder to find your deals or do any sort of statistical research without paying an arm and a leg for the primary data.

They are all lazy and I have had to do most of the leg work.

If you can do the research and contact all of the companies yourself, then set up the negotiations in the best way, you can save the money on a broker...BUT, a good broker is worth their commission if they can do all of the leg work for you and allow you to get onto other things with your life or investing.There is nothing worse than lazy agents that just list properties and wait for the offers to come in.

I was looking at the upstate New York Region of Orange County (Newburgh) because prices are within limits for me.

Hi guys,

My name is Ryan. I'm really new to real estate. I would love any recommendations and guidance from you guys. I want to be rich too.

Thanks

Maybe she needs to paint the orange walls an off white color.

The problem is I dont have much money for a down payment with the high price in my area (Orange County, California).I can either wait for a couple of years or invest outer state?

My name is Gabe Cole and I am a Real Estate Broker and Investor from Orange County, CA.

I've come across many of these for sale in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach and Destin areas at really good prices and wasn't really sure how they work.

I really can't imagine a 2/2 unit for $2900 without some serious problems but if you do the leg work and check everything out and it still looks good, go for it.
