I'm not into spilling my guts on the internet, but here goes.I am looking into getting into real estate investing.

Originally posted by Garrett Yamasaki:One of things I would like to see is an app that shuts off all electricity/appliances at night, and when no one else is home.There is a company called Control4 (I think) that has a system that allows you to control your entire home from practically any device with an internet connection.

Don't get overly concerned about public liability but you do need to be aware, keep properties in good and safe condition, know the rules and conduct your business with attention to details and you should be fine and carry insurance....And I believe Texas has an LLC that limits liability to a subject property safeguarding other business assets, which is unique, I suggest you simply form your business in Texas.

All you'll need is a book of phone numers and you can stay busy for a long time.And getting with the times, you can work the internet sites, craigs list and local FSBO sites.

It is about 25% higher than what I paid for homeowners on it when I lived in it.In trying to find the best solution I have read on the internet about other ways to insure rentals and have come up with a Landlord Policy.

Danny Day or other Texas agents: How long does it actually take to complete the book/internet RE course in Texas if I'm working on it 10-15 hours/week?

Direct advertising via the internet, forums like this etc. is not likely to be effective.

We recently signed up for highspeed internet with them.

My wife just called Verizon-Fios, and they are not in our area, but if we take the phone/internet we can get internet for $50.

I want to buy a house but I haven't had a job in years.I'm just starting to make money in my internet business and I'm working with a partner putting together lease option deals.In the next couple months, I fully expect to have at least $50K in the bank and at least one LLC setup for my business.I was thinking about doing a lease-option but I'd much rather set down roots and just buy a place.
