@Chris Moore I would highly recommend listening to the Podcast which talks about creating a flipping business while have a full time job: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/11/14/bp-podcast-044-creating-systems-flip-houses-still-employeed-michael-woodward/ Michael did a great job of communicating what he did with a full time job.

This year, I've decided mostly to focus on flipping houses because I don't think I'm ready to get involved with landlording or hiring property managers, etc.I just joined my local REIA Tampa Bay chapter and will begin attending meetings, but I'm hoping to learn more about certain things online as well, things I've been having trouble narrowing down in the forums.I'm wondering about:•How hard money lenders work, and how you communicate with/propose deals that a person in that position.

I love to communicate with like minded individuals and absolutely love real estate!

We'd share our goals with each other and communicate weekly on what progress we've made, what we've learned, how we can improve what we're doing, and generally hold each other accountable for becoming the best we can be in 2014.I'd like to get the group up and running by the end of next week, so inbox me asap so we can discuss if you're interested.

As of now we are communicating by email only.

Clicking is a way that people engage with a site, and that helps to get them involved in your message.Also, a website is a professional promotional tool, and the copy should be honed, lean, and communicative.

This was because of 2 things; first, the property management company I had was awesome and took care of everything well enough that I didn't have to get involved outside of electronic communication and 2nd, The lease document I had used was given to me by someone who owned several hundred rental units (in Canada) and was rock solid.

After the "I'm going to be 10 days late with my rent" email, we sent another communication letting the tenant know that rent was due on the first and considered late on the 5th and at that point, we were free to pursue eviction.

I've recently gained an interest in doing an owner occupy with a duplex/triplex/quad to help pay for mortgage and learn to be a landlord in the process without overwhelming myself.I've found out about BiggerPockets.com through google and it seems to be a great place to learn and communicate with other real estate investors both new and experienced.

I really look forward to communicating with people that share the same goals and moving forward with them.
