I am also currently studying marketing in college.

I need to study creative financing!"

I'm new at this at 60 years old, been studying for 8 months, but one is never too old to learn and change the course of their life. 

I have been eager to start investing since my 15th birth day when I had treated myself to one of Robert Kiyosaki's books and began to study trends in real estate.

Take your time and really study your area of interest.

We've been lurking / studying for a while now and have read the UBG, Flipping/Estimating, and serveral of the more popular Buy+Hold/General REI books.We've started the search, looking along the 495 corridor between the mass pike and 95.

Currently, I have a bit on my plate, so I'm just studying, running numbers, and learning in the meantime.

It's not what you can see, it's what you can't see that will reach out and bite you right in the behind.The only way you can even get close to a realistic cost study is to strip the home down to the bones, thoroughly inspect the foundation, check for adequate drainage away from the structure, thoroughly inspect the infrastructure including the cast iron and/or clay water and sewage plumbing and the electrical and gas lines. 

I am new to the real estate industry and through my studying have come to feel that in my current situation contract assignment (wholesaling) would be the best way to enter the industry.  

I am a complete novice to Real Estate Investing, but for the last few weeks, I have been studying and reading everything that I can get my hands on that was free on the web but filled with reliable and quality information.
