@Chris ClothierThanks for chiming in.   I

You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other Vegas investors).Listen to the podcasts , get active on the forums & set up key word alerts to be notified when people are discussing topics you're interested in. I

As for flipping, I am much more cautious and definitely plan on becoming more acclimated to the area before delving in. I

The REA that is presenting the offer I am trying to put in is asking for $2000 in 4 days...

I am in Weatherford, Tx and in the very same startup position you are in.  I

Pete Z. what type of condos do you invest in?I

For my clients I have previewed houses, sent comps, brought the contractor in (I have contractors to recommend if they don't have one) and discussed comps for different rehab scenarios with them before we sit down to write an offer.  

What condition is the building in, is it better than the rest of the neighborhood or is there room for you to upgrade things to make it match the area?

Real estate is something I've been wanting to get started in. I

If you do not have someone to work with you can message me and I can help fill you in. I
