Don't day trade real estate. 

For ex. on the first box type your main keyword and the second box the location/area. 

I am an investor, not a trader.

I used to be a stock options trader and a semi-professional Blackjack gambler, so I know the importance of money management and determining your exit points before you even enter the investment.Build a system, back test it, use it and refine it. 

As I learned being a stock and forex trader, there will ALWAYS be another good deal down the road, someone's always gonna cheat, someone's always gonna default on property taxes/ mortgage, someone is always gonna die and leave an estate. take your time now to learn the basics get an okay-ish job to save up money and then go or it.

Also, which part of the deal should I use her money for? Ex

I'm about 90 miles north of ATL where there are more real estate deals to be found....but fewer Trader Joes....so it's a toss-up ;) Best of luck and keep us posted on your journey!

For ex: Asking price is $500kI offer $512k with $12k seller concessions.Seller will get $512k, have to mark $12k as a debit to me on the HUD-1 and pocket $500k, which is the original price they want.I make a downpayment based on the total purchase price of $512k.IMO you can use it in any market. 

Purchasing a property and holding onto it for 10 years or more isn't, that's investing.It's like the difference between a "day-trader" and Warren Buffet.

I got an email today from Justin Lee talking about the wonders of Kenny Rushing who is willing to cut his tuition in half for his bulk REO trader information.Here is an inspiring quote from Kenny's website:You won't need money, credit, or previous experience.
