I'm fresh out of high school, some roadblocks are social life, (too distracting for me to stay on task), no real life experience, (getting a job, getting an apartment), not having a car(will have a cheap honda civic soon though, courtesy of my parents), all the negative feedback around you for not going to college and going for real estate, and having people not take you seriously.

It really is a breath of fresh air to see someone willing to invest adequate time in real estate learning to determine what areas in which you're most interested.Since your local market isn't as friendly as you might like, you're learning what you can about areas that make sense from a profitability standpoint.An idea you touched on briefly is a sensible one -- areas near college campuses.

Took the job a couple years ago - fresh out of college.

Hi Danwhy don't give it a try, you don't need to be a tech guy, the internet is probably the most affordable media.i know one realtor that build up his business in Europe using only the power of the internet.Here is the thing that a professional website can do for youit can work everyday for you and collect email from prospect, the leads you collect can be Seller and Buyers.Now, getting back to this succesful friend(i can not reveal the name of his business or his website), when he had a new property to sell, he just send an email, and he had some 20 solid investor coming visiting and he close more sales in his area that any other company.again, if you can send an email you can use the internet to build up your businessand most buyers make thorough research on the internet in the first placei won't recommend Ebay, for the branding of your company it is not really that good.best of luck Halille

If you can invest, say $5000, and change it from a beater with a bad foundation to a decent house with fresh paint, you'll get back way more than the $5K.Get some agents to look at it and give me a price they would list at that would product a contract in 30 days.

Kevin's got it right . . . a little spackle, sanding and fresh paint should take care of that for you.

Fannie and Freddie, by buying mortgages, provide American banks and other financial institutions with fresh money to make new loans, **(I thought they already had money, ours?

At least with a short sale, there is a fresh (qualified) borrower in place.
