If you are interested in either one, let me know and I will reach out to my broker and see if he is interested in taking on another agent and/or to the other investor and see if her broker may be interested.

My tenants are constantly asking for rides, small loans, money, food.

Food for thought: If one buys 50 books about real estate at say $15/book, you've then invested $750+ into your investing education, haven't you?

If anyone in the Tampa Bay, FL area is interested in taking a newbie under their wing, I would love the opportunity to assist you in some flips or other investing strategies. 

However, that would mean living in the Richmond area (longer commute, some pretty sketchy neighborhoods, 1bdrm apt vs 3bdrm house...) and that is not including any other high cost of living expenses that come with living out there (ie. food, insurance, taxes...).

Before I invest in taking the courses I'd like to ask...Does having the license give you a lot more education and credibility as an investor? 

Transplanted to Boston (02116) and Brookline (02445), Massachusetts.Interested in taking action on my research of out of state investing for markets that are not as saturated as my own.

Just food for thought, not intending to be rude.Now for your ideas about the work you need to do: Kitchen - I assume you mean cabinets, counter tops and flooring...maybe appliances as well?

same is true for any new Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, or if there's an area that has recently seen a number of new fast food chains enter the marketplace. 

Liz, I'd be interested in taking a look at your property in East Greenwich.
