As mentioned, I am looking for a Mid Georgia mentor willing to assist awilling individual in the "art" of REI.Brief Experience:Currently retired at 46 years of age.Carpentry background = 4 years.Apartment Maintenance = 5 years.Management (Corporate) = Too manyGetting down to the nitty gritty.....I took early retirement last year and my wife is startingher 3 year Nursing Degree in January, meanwhile we wouldlove the opportunity to start in REI.

I called the number on the rental sign, it was Montelongo Homes, I am not Knocking them, I admire anyone who can start their own business and be successful, I knew the people that lived there, I am saddened because the people I say passed were Mother and Son, The son Passed in April and the Mother on July 4th, this will be a sad thanksgiving for the family, but again I cheer for anyone who can can succeed in their own endeavours.

BUT, the property is walking distance to a hospital so there is a big possibility of getting nurses and maintenence people as tenants if i work hard to get it rented.

Before i learned about REI i was just going out spending money and having a good time. about a month and 1/2 ago i met this person that wanted into REI but is a father of 2 without a mother to help. he is also in the military. now 90% of my spare time is searching for deals and soon to be taking an online course for my Texas RE license.

addicts, single-mothers, poor people, middle class people, rich people, whoever is willing to listen.

Search online and this forum. the information is out there just need to find it. also ask friends and family if they ever purchased some items in the past and read those... i told my parents about my plans and my mother bought a couple of programs in the past where i learned some howto stuff... also on these forums there is a forum dedicated to rate books and other investment tools to see if they are worth it. do more online searching than anything... make sure u dont buy something for it just to collect dust. find out everything for free while u can and make a decision if you really need to buy a book. check out creoline.com also. it's a creative online investing site they advertise products there too but i jus read the free articles.

- which aside from an interest entrepreneurship, and the success of my god mother in REI, is the main reason for wanting to pursue this).

My step dad and my mother in law.

Turns out the seller is the mother of the listing agent and the buyer was the listing agent's boss.

Is your mother successful?
