You're very welcome JennH.I'm from california originally, in fact I worked in Corona and llived in Rancho Cucamonga where we also experienced incredible appreciation rates.I know zero about the stock market except that anything I ever invested in I lost money on :( However, many of my friends have made money there.Fortunately, my RE investments recouped my stock losses :)If you do decide to follow through with land speculation, make sure you examine the land and have it surveyed before closing.

Both meet monthly close to my home and cost about the same for an annual membership.Any suggestions for a newbee - does the larger offer more benefits due to its membership size, or should I go with the smaller group so that I may be able to find a mentor and not get lost in the crowd?

In fact, our closings are also Construction Draw #1, and all borrower pre-paid items (architectural, survey, engineering, etc.) are drawn down at this stage and either credited to borrower equity requirements, or paid to the borrower.New Construction/Substantial Rehabilitation Insured Loan Program offers more favorable terms than traditional two-step construction and permanent financing.

Took a look at my books and noticed more than 25% of my business was coming from a marketing technique that requires less than 10% of my time..............Don't get me wrong....I have nothing against hard work but, my prayer has always been to work less and make more.As for firstpreston....been meaning to start with them, they're next on my agenda.Here's a couple of more sites for you.http://www.uslandco.comhttp://www.publicans.comUsland is free membership...I have no affiliation with them but, I pick up a deal from them every now and then.

(I know without an engineer/survey and various other documents this question is kind of impossible but, if there are any developers here maybe you can provide some insight)If the town doesn't allow the road to be built, then the deal would be dead as the lots are not builable.

Is it like a membership thing or can anyone come?

Membership in a club can catapult your success.

Surveys indicate an increase in FRMs by at least 4-5 basis points in the coming week.
