I made a very conscience decision to enter into RE and have repeatedly chosen to stay in RE despite having received some rather lucrative offers in other industries.Since I left my last corporate job, I've obtained 2 professional licenses, one of which required a heck of a lot of aggravation to lay hands on.

You can pretty much learn those from reading on this site.If there are investment clubs or landlord meetings in your chosen areas attending meetings would be a very wise idea.Good luck with your investments.

Wholesaling (FSBO & Vacant properties)is the direction I've chosen to start with in order to get some capital under my belt along with doing some bird-dogging, and then start getting some rental in my portfolio.Any thoughts!

That way if they tie with a bidder outside of the group, they still have 6 chances to be chosen the winner.If you look to the right, you notice that each column is the interest rate and they go down as you go to the right.

Not every investor wants to be a contractor like you've chosen to do.

When people are rejected, do I need to call them and tell them they are rejected and why, or can I say when they fill out mysmartmove they'll only be contacted if they are chosen to be the renter?

The mentor I have chosen wants $500 a month for 6 months, for a total of $6000.

I told him the same sort of comments I made at the beginning two paragraphs of my post here ...So that is why, although it may be hard at times, I have chosen to handle the tenant selection myself (at least for now).

What they find out a few years later though is that they may have accidentally chosen the real hard way!

So, I will continue my learning over my chosen subject and I'll definitely ask questions as soon as they pop up.
