Sorry my Name is Zac :)I just started browsing the site so I haven't really had a chance to see what is available yet, but I am really enjoying everything I have read so far.I'm not sure if there is a local Real Estate Investing Association or not, but I will definately check into it.

I feel that on other sites I read the groups are clumped together better and I can quickly browse through and the topics.Just a thought.

im knew although i have been browsing for some time, ill give you a short history of myself before i explain what i would like to do, Im currently 22 and at the age of 21 i had saved approx 15k for my first home, I had read every investing/mortage/real estate book i could find, before i really started looking, threw family i was introduced to a very respected and succesful real estate broker who has several offices, so i thought it was wierd that he was wasting his time with such (small fish) but he helped me find a forclosure,i bought a 1800sqft house 3 bed 3 bath etc for 112k, it was the ugliest house in a super nice neighborhood.

And, Donald Trump has plenty of properties in locations that were already great before he bought or developed--he has a golf course in Palos Verdes; oceanfront condos in Baja; a casino on the Vegas strip; a hotel on 5th Avenue, condos with Lake Michigan views in downtown Chicago, etc.

If you would like to learn more about what I'm talking about visit Bill Gatten's website (www.landtrust.net) and browse their forum.

For starters, I would really recommend browsing through the rest of this category.

I had a browse around the free sections of that site - the eviction pictures are pretty horrific!

That is why casinos give people chips instead of letting them bet with cash.

I have been browsing this site for a few weeks and the wealth of knowledge is incredible.

Kirk dropped out of 8th grade, and now owns half of the casinos on the Las Vegas strip.
