The popular ones are PREIA and TRIG. 4) Have fun and don't give up!

Do this for a few months – you may want to take a real estate course to get your license – Attend REIA's – BUT do not trust the sales pitches you will hear – I don’t think you should spend your money on those programs – if you want to spend some money – get a mentor –The candidate for your mentor should be financial successful – in many phases of making money in real estate; auctions, tax sales, lead generations, contract engineering, assignments as well as the many creative clauses’ used to buy real estate.I think you will do well – take it slow and easy – don’t be influenced by big talkers – counsel with spouse – create credit lines – be ready with a form packets of contracts – assignment forms – notes – disclosures and blank checks – study and learn from others ------ AND HAVE FUN – your journey to a better income and more of what you want out of life is exciting and profitable.

I'll send you a private message to talk specifics.There are pros and cons about waiting until the fall and winter.

Explain how it is harder to find tenants in the winter months. 

In the winter, the road is only accessible by snowmobile though (at least that's what I hear). but the main canyon road is accessible.

Ask if there have been any big (500+) job announcements recently.And for me personally, invest in an area you actually enjoy traveling to (for me that's a place without cold harsh winters).

Some boards are a loose affiliation of "we all pay $75 a year to have the road plowed in the winter" (not that you know about that in NC :) and everything else is on you.

I'd actually have fun, but I'm sure it would take so long that the holding costs would wipe out any profit.

We have 4 children so we are trying to find an good source of income to provide a bright future for them and have fun doing it.

Hi BP Community - this is my first post and I'm excited to join-in on the fun!
