I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN, AND I'M SURE THIS SITE WILL HELP.HAPPY INVESTING AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Thanks, that really means a lot to me.I hope to learn a lot from you masters.

hiya,let me introduce myself. i am a 21 year old enthusiastic investor from toronto, ontario. i have been involved in the purchase of three properties this year ranging from multiplexes to houses with acreage. this limited experience of actually getting proactive and getting started has taught me way more than any book has ever taught me. a tip to other beginners. i have also had some background knowledge in the real estate industry with my parents starting out a real estate rental business 10 years ago. however their knowledge is quite elementary and i have a lot to learn. fortunately i have found this site. and while browsing for the past couple days i have found that there are many invaluable resources and brilliant minds aboard.ps. slthough i have found the canadian content lacking i am confident that with our similar laws the ideas are all valid.looking forward to meeting you,joe

I don't live in IL but I just had an appraisal done of the house and it's lot so the refi applied only to that one, then quit claimed the other lot to myself.A 30 minute visit to an attorney may be worth the fee.

Christy...Thanks for the "mini-education"...it's obvious I have a lot to learn!

There's a lot to this so i plan on taking this very slow and keep up with the other posts here.

John Reed has a lot to say.

Once again there's a lot to be learned from those that know what you are wanting to do.Good luck

Not that I still don't have a lot to learn myself, but the things that I do know I love to help others understand, also.
