That part throws me off as most veterans say that a small fish trying to go direct to a bank is darn near impossible.

My rentals will give me the occasional chore to do,  I like to hunt and fish, and twice a year we will take extended trips to visit places we've been before and loved, and new places we want to discover.

I've always wondered what it would be like to be a big fish in a little pond rather than small fish in a big pond.  

Everyone posts pics of their bike, bike store, bike blogs yada yada yada..BUT if you sold blue polkadot bikes with pink ribbons that smelled like fish with a dragon tooth glued to the seat.... guess what.. chances are you re the only (Weirdo) that sells these and google has no choice to display your site because you re the only site available TO display containing that monstrosity.This concludes your first SEO lesson!

So many of them have been fished out, but theres still some out there

“Give the man a fish v teach him how to fish”

Neither is right or wrong, but one will help you become an investor more quickly than the other.a 10 dollar rod and reel combo and some worms or grub worms and go fishing for blue gill or crappie tell me what 3 to 7 year old would not dig that.. and many times they dont need a license. :)

In theory all of those things work.. in reality they rarely do if your not in the business full time IE  an agent or broker.. on the street level .and its regional as hell .. in some markets you can trade real estate like a used car broker you can buy properties for 5 to 20k each and do something with them.in other markets that is not enough money for a earnest money deposit .. so market matters.. your goals matter of course and your ability to capture capital or financing.Keep in mind Brandon is and has invest at least in the beginning when he used to actually participate on the forums.. in a little town on in central coastal Wa. that was basically dead and dying timber AG fishing town.. and properties were not expensive and you had motivated sellers.. he was not in Seattle..

Betting on Detroit is betting against a very long trend of decline, but investors are no longer bottom fishing IMO.

I also hope to make some new friends that share my interest in soccer, hunting & fishing.
