But here goes any way.My X-Mother In Law who is 86 years old has 2 Rental Properties she has had for over 30+ years.One is debt free the other has already been for -closed on.I know she wants to sell but she doesn't know to much about this and always needs to confer with her daughter who is "supposed to know about these things"( She is also old German)The first one is on 210 Tyler St.

I think other markets make sense IF you have the right expertise leadership.

@Evan Purser I am also an alumni of Robyns boot camp a well as numerous shorter events at conferences where she was a featured presenter.

Im not suggesting not to work with them but it is definitely something to know.I understand a lot of chinese fluent agents who will perform workshop or bring deals to china or have a small conference to introduce the ideas or deals.

At the moment I am fairly well educated (boot camp and conference attendee, faithful member of my state's REIA meetings, good researcher) but a little under-experienced, but I'm gaining ground!

Someday will be in Austin with my son, or to attend BP conference.

There's more free real estate investing information available on this website than you'll find in dozens of books.I'd also recommend that you come and check out our upcoming conference in March -->BiggerPockets Real Estate Investing Summit 2012.

Do you have the skills and leadership required to run & manage the project to completion in a timely fashion.

I agree with the above posters, attend note conferences and network.

Work in the conference room, in the janitors closet, whatever.
