I am just getting into REI and have my eye on a few foreclosures which I would turn into rental properties.

(My instructor was an investor and agent for over 30 years, so his personal stories are eye opening in a great way)

There is one spot that I keep an eye over there kind of on the backside of U.C.F. that makes since as well.

Very eye opening story for sure. 

I've owned a business before and understand that if this was easy, then everyone would be doing it.I'll keep my eye open for the confirmation about the meetup!

I'm happy to be a second pair of eyes if you like.Based on scale, those look like some old duplexes.  

@Dan Sieg  Not to be to Harsh but its this type of activity that really gives the industry a black eye.. you have someone ( you) with no means to close running around trying to tie up properties with the hope of finding a buyer.. you insinuate   one thing but can't back it up. 

Always keep your eye out for someone to mentor you.

I've seen situations where they skim the cream properties for themselves and then try to wholesale the properties that are inferior and that they don't want to fix themselves, either because there is a potential low return or the property needs tons of costly repairs, or are in a bad neighborhood.   

When I first got my head around the idea of REI my eyes turned to dollar signs and I was overwhelmingly positive.
