So funny to hear what people say sometimes, but well worth the effort.Keep up the good work and I am sure tons of rehabbers could benefit from this technique.

After you learn the basics then you can listen to all these folks and listen to the sizzle of the sale, the how to techniques that some use.Otherwise, you'll have things screwed up for years or fall into doing some flim-flam type deal.Read the forums, then the blogs, IMO

@Steve Might I use a variety of techniques.

Hi,There's lots of great info on this site so I thought I'd reach out and seek some advice on using creative techniques to acquire our own home.Background:We live in Atlanta but are originally from overseas (we own rentals in another country so not new to RE).

To hit that goal, I've had to expand my REI techniques; for example, I'm going to be starting my first flip on Monday.

I grew up in South Carolina in asmall town called Timmonsville.I am a college professor and the drummer in an 11-piece bandthat plays party dance music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.My goals are to get back into the real estate game full hog and do it better this time :-).I would like to start with buy-and-flipping and later add buy -and- hold rentals.I am open to other techniques but wanna stick with one before movingto another.

Currently am reading about how to look at liens and the obstacles they present, the foreclosure process, tenants, etc.Once I have a property I’m looking at the Fix & Flip technique.

There are lots of good books on this subject, ranging from real estate investing overviews to very detailed books on specific plumbing techniques and everything in between.
