We have done a tremendous amount of research to date, but are hoping to find some folks who are already succeeding to lend us some wisdom in exchange for shameless food based bribery.We have a solid background in property rehab and estimating and one of us knows a little about the law, but we could really use some advice from those of you who were actually able to stop researching - and start investing.Are there any investor-friendly agents or investing pro's out there who would be willing to set up some time to chat?   

With a history of home rehab and resale to consumers on the North Side of Indianapolis as well as a background in value add property management, I'm looking to leverage my experience as to create a network of professionals to buy properties for rehab and resale in multiple areas of Indianapolis. 

Meeting other member online in a variety of backgrounds is a great resource.  

Also check out a contractor background screening.

@Mark McGarry the ground rent holder may only collect three years back ground rent.

Hi Everyone, I am David Logan, a Software Engineer from Auckland, New Zealand and I am currently looking into what REI is all about however I have no background in Real Estate nor does anyone in my family.

I can get phone records of the subject, their friends and family, employers, address history, land lines, cell phones, judgements for 2 dollars a search and then full blow background checks for tenant screening for 12 dollars. 

The 6 adults should all have back ground checks done on them.

My backgrounds are in economics, accounting (CPA candidate), product design, & engineering — I know, quite a lot but I’m a lifelong learner.

A lot of people jump into Real Estate investing with little background research and end up losing money.
