You have stumbled upon one of the best real estate investing sites on the internet!

Don't have much of a buyers list yet.Just started doing marketing in my area (bandit signs, Internet adds).I'm scheduled to attend my first REIA meeting in a couple of days (very excited about that).

You stumbled upon one of the best real estate investing sites on the internet.

You can get all the training for free on the internet, and probably more than any brokerage is currently teaching.

That way you can buy a duplex, tri-plex, or a 4-plex and get the tenants to pay you your mortgage payment usually.I would concentrate on what is average for that neighberhood.  

Then net out the utilities, cable, internet, vacancy, furniture cost, etc..

@Nehemias PonceYes, this note stuff on the internet makes me think of a blazing house on fire and I only have a garden hose to fight the fire.

I have never listened to a pod cast as I get board with them.there was a long thread on those that did listen to it and went out to try to buy properties from this persons company only to find out.. it was not what they thought. and in deeper discovery on those threads this guy has no real experience at this.. and is just a hyperbole internet type dude.I am sure his hey we all want to quit our day jobs and have passive income message is well received by you folks out there in BP land.. but you can't get there with the stuff he sells..

And talk about predatory, points on my sale price, not good.As to originations, there are many RMLOs out there who think they are compliant in doing seller financing, actually not from several fronts, their employer/broker must have such loans in their charter, insured and bonded lenders aren't covered with equity funded notes, and if they do any volume they may have loan concentration issues of high cost mortgages, this goes much deeper than what our newish loan originator testing goes to that they learn and it doesn't even go into underwriting!
