One family in particular adopted Ashley and me as their real estate kids.

@Ashley Lesieur"Are there any sites . . . ?" 

@Ashley Schroeder - Great questions. 

My name is Ashley and my husband and I began our real estate investing when I was 21 and he was 23.

Hello my name is Ashley I am new to this forum.

@Ashley Zhang There are definitely other strategies besides "driving for dollars" that can give you good results.Targeting demographics - buy a list of properties of elderly owners (60+ years of age), who do not live in the property and have owned it for at least 10 years;For sale by owners (Zillow, Craigslist, FSBO.com, etc.) - even if you can get them down a few thousands you can assign the contract for a fee - a lot of FSBOs do not know how to market or sell their properties;MLS - you can use the MLS to locate properties to wholesale or flip, but you have to do it a certain way, which can be harder for a beginner;and several others, but this is a start for you.

Does anyone have any intel about buying fixer-uppers in older neighborhoods where you can find some ugly houses but some good ones too - like maybe Ashborough or Archdale in the Dorchester Rd. part of Summerville - but which are close to the Ashley?

Happy Holidays,Ashley

@Ashley SchroederIf your husband was a 50% owner in the business, would you still feel the same way?
