I am new to the real estate investing industry and am working for a rapidly growing company called New Western Acquisitions.

i do admire the added funding resources aside from savings & conventional loans like hard/private money loans  -and the fastrack way to in fact generate profits from nothing, via  dishing out 'wholesale' contingency offers then upselling the crap out of the property - but like many has to be pointed out to newbies to BP, even with those a downpayment is required to invest. all in all, i'm appauled at the widespread connotation - often spun by mainstream media (ie, tv, internet) and the material they pump out, infomercials and all - that somehow people will 'discover' how they can make big money from no money. when in reality the underlying problem to me it seems to be the western norm to be making a decent salary (heck, even teens working at mcDs or whatever) and all but just be spending it day and day out but at the same time expecting somehow to get rich one day- without incrementally investing in a wealthier future any.how could adults these days chronically have no money, chronically have no creditworthiness, and *then* decide they want to start INVESTING?! 

@Dawn Anastasi  got it... spoken as a true conservative mid westerner  LOL...

Arkansas-NorthCentral/Western, Looking for Investor/Groups in Clinton/Fairfield Bay Hwy#65 Area for Contacts/Leads.I'm from another part of the country and trying to make contacts in other area's and thought BP might be helpful for us non-institutional investors/owners/sellers of Real Estate.Any REI Groups or meetups near these area's (Clinton/Fairfield Bay Hwy#65 Area north of Conway and Little Rock, AR) with websites, calendar or information about future meetings on the web?

I have been an active investor/landlord  in Western Suburbs in Chicago with rental properties in A/B class neighborhoods like Glendale Heights, Wheaton, Glen Ellyn and Downers Grove.

Big demand for rentals.Negatives, I am a newbie, it's in western WA, so it won't be cheap or easy (even with the city's change), all the issues that come with new construction, which is exasperated by the size of the project. 

What I mean is that rents are higher here than the costs of ownership are for a similar property AND rents are higher here than in most other areas of the western states for similar properties.  

Continuously working on SFH deals.  Currently have 2 under contract and made 4 other offers.  Finding the right partners is key.  Finding the financing is key.  Any referrals or assistance is welcomed.

Would like to start off with a flip.Types of Properties: SFR & MultiTarget areas, counties or cities: Trying to target Morris, Western Essex County areas, non city such as Newark, East Orange, etc.Do you invest in or out of state (or both): None right now.What are you looking for: Looking to do my first deal.
