I didn't have enough space in the Title:Novations where the investor uses a Limited Listing that puts them as the primary contact for scheduling showings, receiving/accepting offers and negotiating are brokering without a license.Novations where the investor actually hires a real estate broker to handle the aforementioned for the seller are not included. 

Or maybe even the "Commercial Real Estate" forum.  

My name is Adam King, and I am an avid real estate investor and life long San Diegan!

I want to start investing in real estate in America in the near future, since I am not in America, I live in Europe, more precisely in Serbia, any advice and contact will mean a lot to me.

Quote from @Mark King Sanders: I am now beginning my real estate investment journey.

I know when i travel to hotels ( which is almost every month) I check for coffee pods and will choose hotel that has them  then i bring my own pods LOL  unless its a real high end hotel and they have the ultra coffee makers  do your cleaners know how to clean the water repository on a Keurig?

I'm new to the real estate game.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

My recommendation is to see if you can work for a company in real estate or wholesaling that way you get training and education while getting paid 

Once the HELOC is in place, your father-in-law could loan you the funds to invest in real estate.
