I could try to keep the low profile, but if it was successful, the local officials would probably stick their noses in for their cut.Jennifer, thanks for the idea or using attached units.

Do you want to "chase" again (with no seed capital) to hopefully make it back quicker?

@Barney Jordan Not a fan of wholesaling in general, but yes...you essentially cut off your nose to spite your face...the upside is that instead of getting assignment fees, you list the property and make a commission...all legit.

Until the banks start releasing their distressed notes, you can either continue to pay through the nose for your “safe” notes, where you’ll be basically managing a cash annuity.

I ran to the car, grabbed my portable voice recorded, shoved it under the tenants nose, (I'm 5"2", so I had a long way to reach) and said, "you have something to say, you say it in this.  

@Travis Stok For starters, learn to spell strategy.Learn to sell nose to nose, toes to toes.

Any and all advice as to what to study and what one can do when starting off with little to no seed money is very appreciated!

Long time no see!

Arrgh, so I have to park my license at at brokerage for 2 years here in California.Since I have to bide my time, might as well learn and do what I am interested in. . .I plan on investing in apartment buildings, repositioning strip malls, industrial properties/storage facilities, brokering commerial loans, etc. . .My question, can a snot nosed noob start in a COMMERCIAL real estate office, or do you brokers only take seasoned professionals?

Am I putting my nose to the grindstone for years until the debt is gone before looking into another property.
