My sister and husband own a few rentals in the Atlanta area and, although they are trying to talk me out of it, I've decided I want to get into the industry and try to get to the point where I can earn as much as I am now by the time I can retire in 8 years.As far as real estate education goes I've only just begun.

Borrowed money from my sister and father in law in order to get all the cash together.

Her husband passed and she is now living with her sister.

My sister lives in the area, and - although not incredibly reliable for day-to-day - is there for 'urgent' situations.

Do that before you contract, but if you don't so long as you aren't spending money on something you won't get hurt, as an example, one signs a contract and later you find tahta sister also needs to sign.

I was new and they were old timers, so I just made a mental note and finally checked it out a few weeks later and hit upon an old woman that just wanted to sell her 4 rentals and her home and move in with her sister in another state.

I have a sister in C.

Yep, my ex sister in law was in W trails, good area.
