You may have better luck finding a local mentor if you narrow the area down a little.The VA loan can be a great way to get started.

I like to invest in B and above class areas.

For the last 4-5 months I've been jus soaking up knowledge left and right and slowly narrowing down the type of real estate I wannabe involved in which is wholesaling & rental proprieties.

There's a narrow band in the middle with good rates that you typically see advertised, then a "high balance" range where they aren't so good, then a "jumbo" range where they get better again (sometimes we find ways to shove "high balance" loans into "jumbo" for that reason).

Wife finds a 1/2 carat diamond engagement band inbetween the wall and baseboard.

$400/month is a huge difference, just rip the band aid off already.

Hi Melissa, The Auction i was in was Ending 24Hrs from My post Date, And there were Simply Too Many Houses & I Did not Have Them Narrowed Down Enough as the Auction of 6,800 Houses Closed .Although I Learned A lot throughout the  (Online Tax-Foreclosure ) Auction process, This Part/the " Legal Land Description + Matching it to a " plat Map" Really shook me and ate up Most all of my time Trying to figure this out ,As people/the County were "selling an Address" only to find out it was a Vacant piece of Land next to the home that they hadn't paid the taxes on.This was Frightening that i would purchase Something a Home only to find out it was Not a Home at All.ANYHOW , I WANTED TO GET BACK AND THANK YOU (though this seems alot of work for 1 home when looking at 100s-1000s to Analyse) Wish there were a More Accessable way for the public to match up these "Legal Land Descriptions" Rather then Feeling as if your "Bugging" an Agency for their info..Esp if for Several different properties.I will be Entering another Auction in a Week or so & (Although i will really need to narrow down my interests to use this method) I AGAIN AM GREATFUL FOR THE INFO & WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LITERALLY COULD NOT FIND ANY, UP TO DATE,  LEGITIMATE RESOURCES,HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP NEXT TIME :)

Every little bit of feedback narrows things down for me, or makes me think.Well, I was thinking more in the lines of a Medical Supply / Senior supply store,  rather than Adult day care.

- I am still narrowing down properties and would like to have a general contractor do a walk through to verify my assumptions.

It helped me narrow it down from 20 to 3-4.
