Do that, study a good amount prior with her practice exams and class material and you'll be golden. 

Ive always thought this was a great idea, but never took myself seriously enough and so im not starting out with a golden investment egg, rather starting from scratch.

@John Golden There is but it would have to be looking at it like an RV park in my opinion or if you have private land where the city willleave you alone.

I mean, if they covered it up with a nice globe, you might never know!

You're so right about the city's laws and systems, condo lottery, rent control, ellis act, etc etc create a crazy world, and potential windows of opportunity for value creation.. if you get the golden ticket!!

The time-tested Golden Rule really works.

Maybe that attorney truly did not know anything, or maybe you just passed up a golden learning opportunity.

Most Americans who make 50-80k/year have no savings, so you're golden.

However, I do not participate in the S8 program and my unit is not approved by S8 for inclusion in their program. minor discrepancy the S8 does NOT provide a voucher for the house.. the tenant has the voucher and in tough rental markets they know its the golden ticket and waive it around as such.. but what your getting at is that hud will then do an inspection and if the property does not pass they wont let the tenant use the voucher for that property until its brought up to standards.but lets be realistic who is going to keep a property vacant just waiting for a hud inspection that you know is going to fail.. 

I've been following this thread, and others, and wonder - amidst all those newbies who are looking for that get rich quick golden egg, there's some who choose to enter this Real Estate arena as a wholesaler without the full blinders, knowing it's a hard road (maybe not just how hard, granted, but knowing it's not an easy walk) and you need to get some contacts and teaching and mentors - how do the serious folk choosing wholesaling, wanting to use their time and skills to assist investors, how do they *not* get dismissed outright as we're all smushed into the same grouping just by using the word "wholesaling"?
