I think that it is never too late to get started changing or enhancing your life whether through real estate investing or whatever one chooses.

@Dylan Hoffman I want to hear about your successes and emulate or enhance! 

So things like that, you need to combine those market structure gaps with creativity to add/enhance the value.If you approach the problem by having the same "passive" thinking, this is not going to work in bay area, like a software industry, you need to be creative and disturb the market with some bit of innovation here and there.

Consulting with local experts, real estate professionals, and grant writers can greatly enhance your chances of securing grant funding for your renovation projects.

So, it enhances everyone's learning curve.

If I fail and we go to a divestment of interest issue, then it is easy to quantify fees, I have an enhanced closing schedule I follow.As the perfect storm continues to brew in the Midwest and California, and we continue to see the peak of the reset dates grow closer and closer, it only makes sense that the banks would start footing the bill for Home Retention services.

Recently, I got RETS (like IDX) access to my MLS, so I can query it with pretty much whatever I want and do some extensive searching/tracking and follow up.So I am basically working on a program that will automate enhance all the searches I do, and insure I don't miss stuff (ie: a property I like goes pending with another buyer... within 6 hrs of it coming back to active I get an email).

I believe that meeting partners who I can work with will certainly enhance my knowledge in RE as well as open up doors for me to pursue more opportunities.
