If its like most of these (it will be) it will be a pitch fest by a bunch of speakers selling $1000 home study courses, $5000 workshops and $10,000 mentorships.

I spent 6 - 9 months, studying, reading, talking, and looking at properties.

I've been reading and studying the real estate investment field for about two months now but I plan on acquiring knowledge for 2 years before my first purchase.

Thank You I am studying some of that material now.

If you study appraisal techniques you'll see that this not just my opinion shooting from the hip.I can tell you're an older investor speaking of the interest rate spread and contracts for deeds.

Just study up on how to best mitigate issues, how to prevent issues as best as possible, what even constitutes and issue to start, and network with people who do fine with rental properties and find out what works for them.

I also really enjoyed the purchase and remodel process of my own home in Seattle, and look forward to doing it again here in Los Angeles.I'm currently studying for my agent's license and came across BP when my curiosity about wholesaling, REITs, and MFR ownership got the best of me.In all the years that I've watched reality shows about flipping houses and selling multi-million dollar listings, I've always enjoyed the thrill of the wins and losses, but having met so many people that believe it's that "easy", I wasn't sure if I was on the right planet.

If I made it into one big room it would make a nice study or single bedroom.

My name is Mike Baker, and I live in south central Montana.I am an Army Vet, the father of five boys, and currently a plumber.My wife and I have been studying real estate investing for the last few years, through Rich Dad, and Dean Graziozi.

I have a piece of property in California that has around 3600+ acre feet of water rights (have had it for about 10 years, but just "discovered" the water rights)...I would like to sell all or a portion of the rights on an annual basis, or lease the property (13+ acres) including the rights.Hoping for some leads on how to go about this, where can I list the rights for sale, how to ascertain the value, etc...The property also has mineral rights (patented gold mine) any advice on leasing the mineral rights would be welcome as well...I'd also look into a partnership, etc...to start making some cash flow with this property.Thank you!
