Under a full guardianship that means we are untimately responsible for everything, income, expenses, housing and medical decisions, taxes, debts, mortgages, wills and estate planning, suing or being sued, investments, real property, unique asset liquidations like oil/gas leases, coins, fine art, notes, cars, foreign real estate, boats, wine, financial exploitation investigations including forensic accounting, criminal and civil trial testimony and recovery of funds when we are lucky, budgeting for liquidation of assets in order to fund medical and care expenses, (I could go on for hours); basically everything you can think of in your life... imagine someone else having to do that for you because you're incapacitated.In my work I'd estimate I've been involved in the sale of 300-400 properties, maybe 100 probate cases and many hundreds of guardianship and DPOA cases.  

Between the two of us we have an engineering and a medical background, so we love to analyze the numbers!

I found BP about 20 months ago when I was medically recovering and looking for something I could do and has more flexibility that goes with it.I would probably would have never found this site when I was running my own business and only spent time working on a computer but not searching for something else to do.  

Hi I am hoping to get some tips for just getting started.A few years ago I was all set to get started with some flipping maybe renting.Just as I was about to start our financial situation changed drastically.My wife had to take a much smaller salary and I was hit with a ton of medical bills.So we went from looking to invest to living paycheck to paycheck.We have burned through all our savings just to stay afloat and things are going to get desperate soon.So I am hoping I can get started now before it’s too late.So I have been reading up and looking for options.Any tips or suggestions for someone in my situation to get started in the real estate game here in NJ would be greatly appreciated.Any wholesalers out there that can walk a first timer through would be cool.I have a partner who is less desperate then I am and maybe some investors if the deal looks good.Between the two of us we are acquainted with a lot of carpenters, painters, roofers and other home repair guys who would give us great deals.Plus we are both very handy and usually do all our own work for our homes.Hoping to make a move and supplement our incomes before getting too buried in credit card debt.Any tips would be awesome thanks.

I think I will stick with my Single families where i can get $200-300/mo positive on 15 year financing, and be quite liquid if i need to sell one here or there, with good management in place it really doesnt matter if they are all under 1 roof or you own a bunch of roofs, it just runs with little intervention.    

@Jose Guevarra I would see what kind of commercial RE he specializes in (strip malls, industrial, medical office buildings, multi-family, etc) and how he generates leads.

If it was something like a medical mishap perhaps I could work with it...but I saw collections from jewlery companies, cable TV and other stuff like that.

That is what I got into and was still in it when I had that medical problem.  

I am 60 years old and found BP about 20 months ago while was medically recovering.
