We travel a lot and I can get her nice things- and our marriage gained tremendous strength.

Many people like Gary Vee say to focus on your strengths and be kick a$$ at one thing.

Hello,I am a new investor and would sincerely appreciate any insight.So far my experience is finding buyers (online) for my family's timeshares.I have significant experience marketing online and, due to a well written ad, was able to secure a (well) above average price for their timeshares.In fact, in regards to one deal, a lesser unit (less desirable week and size) sold for $200 while I was able to get over $2,000 just a week later.My point is not to brag but to impress the fact that my strength is in the marketing.Although I do have experience in the book business and know how to find value and secure deals in such a way to ensure profit / up-side, I have no idea where to begin in finding similar RE deals (I realize there is a lot more to it than books ;)So my question is, where can one "fish" to lock investment properties / homes up at a price where there is still significant upside?

oddly enough..the world economy has been poor and people have put their money into the U.S. dollar which has been showing strength in currency pairs for awhile since the middle of 08.who knows what happens next

This might be a good investment decision for you based on your abilities, goals, strengths and weaknesses.

I find that different managers have different strengths.

On a REI investing forum everyone will focus on the strengths of RE and drawbacks of equities; the opposite holds true on a stock forum.

As long as the wall is open install a code compliant (ours are some kind of high strength plastic) glass block window. 

But as the borrower, with the historically lower rates available now, you are in a position of strength to negotiate as it is easy to find another loan somewhere else.

My agent is a nice lady, but I feel like she was out of her element with this, and my bank who I went through for really screwed the pooch, too (but that's a completely different story).When investing in real-estate, do so from a position of financial strength.
