:roll: The good thing though was that I got a ton of cards, RE Agents, inspectors, morgage brokers (i think) i think he was more into loan mods...

Keep reading, keep listening to the pod casts, etc. and it will all start to make sense.With that being said, I can help a little with your "buy and hold with property management" question.

This would be my first deal and I think this is the correct place to post, if not can the mods please move?

Thanks for the kind words about the pod cast.

Some other forum's mods get touchy if you complain about their site in almost any way, shape or form.

I would suggest that you review the pod casts that are available and this will bring you up the learning curve rapidly.

At the top of the web page are several headings you should browse to find anything from tips to spreadsheets to Pod Casts (under the Learn heading).

I'll let the other mods decide how to proceed.

But I have been communicating with an Investor with 23 yrs experience about this,and of course he believes 99% scam but to follow through to see if POD arrives.

I recommend listening to some of the pod casts on here and attend various local REI events (NY always has something going on).
