Hand out cards, hang fliers, drop by open houses, network with realtors, run a classified ad, create an internet presence or join your local chamber of commerce, offer something freeYou can also buy leads just to give yourself some practice.

You know, just the guys hanging out for the weekend.

If you want to go somewhere or "hang out" with friends, you had three choices...public transportation, walk, or (by far the most popular) ride a bike.Some places in South America also have extremely high gas prices.

So, before you let that money burn a hole in your pocket, and end in someone else's pockets, you should hang out on this (and other) REI sites and LEARN ALL YOU CAN.Take a hard look at your financial situation.

Looking at the numbers more closely, all cash is correct that these are probably not going to be very good deals for you to hang onto.

I do not regret buying it, but in hindsight I would have bought a less expensive property.That said, we paid 7K for the lot premium.We were told there were no phases.Location Tucson, AZBuild time May-OctoberTotal cost of home+lot+upgrades= 204KMoney down: 20KIt is rented right now, and we may hang onto it.The rate is fixed for 30 years.They are now selling for around 230-260KHope this helps!

Appraisers hang out in the appraiser's office and they are alot more fun there than out there working--a wealth of knowledge and they do keep up with everything that sells or is selling.

And no, it's not a scam.There is a whole section of this forum devoted to it.If you hang around this forum, you will meet people who make theirlivings buying and selling notes, buying buildings for next to nothingdown and then renting them out, etc.There is no degree needed for any of this.

Great minds hang out in the same forums.

I promise, if you simply tell me you don't know how to do something, or you don't understand something, I'm not going to hang up on you, or write you off, and I hope when I say and have said those things to others, they don't write me off either.
