the art of the deal is also another big draw. :) if i cant find someone to answer questions, or has the knowledge im seeking, theres always a hundred more who will and do...

My goal is to wholesale 3-5 houses in my first year, and then as my business grows I would like to wholesale more deals and then start doing rehabs which would be my specialty since I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture, as well as currently working as a carpenter, and working on getting my Master of Science in Construction Management.

And they don't give me a list of definitions to go memorize, they show me exactly how the business world works, what i need to learn, and what it takes to be successful.All that being said, I do see the value in a 4 yr education, especially the first two years of liberal arts classes.

I know at first my girlfriend couldn't rationalize all the work for just "$200 per month".My girlfriend wasn't initially on board either, but her ultimate dream is to someday own an art studio where she prints and sells artwork.  

I am a general contractor and first of all I would have to agree with Art Allen in regards to contractors having a bad name.

Equally certainly, an antique dealer who acquires one of the art nouveau monstrosities my wife collects is not in "partnership" with her when he buys a piece hoping she will buy it from him.  

I'm a 20-year old college student working a grocery store job who wants something bigger and has a passion for the art of real estate investing.

I built a 254 unit state of art self storage facility which we are at 90% full.

I've built and renovated a few stick and stucco houses and helped to renovate an old adobe place into 5 apartments while working for other people, but really wanted to give this niche a try now that I am out on my own.

They need more than the art and style of public speaking, the ability to motivate, as what they put out needs to be within the reality of real estate.
