My income level is under 50,000I have plans to buy Apple stock with the money.

Big sports and movie/tv fan. 

Don’t get me wrong – I like sports, but watching TV or attending games all weekend won’t make you a successful real estate investor.

I have studied brokerage behind two top brokers in the industry since entering and am currently partnered with one.Before brokerage, I worked for two unique gentlemen in Los Angeles who own bars, restaurants, hotels, movie/tv production groups and promoting groups.

You are allowed to find a house and offer it up for sale on Craigslist, signs flyers, tv ads, internet sites etc.

You have to make sure you're comparing apples to apples.

It does take a fair amount of work to pull something amazing off (because real estate is 99% boring paperwork and 1% action... so it's hard to capture the action on video/audio unless it's "fake" like TV shows.)

But the reality is that you'll occasionally come across bad apples, despite them looking good on paper. 

I think you're mixing apples and watermelons.  

But there is a nice large community kitchen in the hallway with a 70" TV and couches set up for entertaining guests.
