What a great interview...it would have been great if the guest WASN'T from Albuquerque, but he lives in Corralles and has years of investing experience.

If you are coming to town to look at properties - or interview agents you might schedule around the 2nd Tuesday of the month and attend the local REIA meeting, making connections to boots on the ground can be very helpful to check out what your local Realtor ad or property manager is telling you.

In these podcasts, they interview people who are active and successful in real estate and want to share some knowledge and advice.

I even use Skype and TeamViewer to communicate with clients so I'd highly recommend looking for one of the best with great references that interviews well with you.So look for someone you can connect with that works out for your situation.Feel free to ask here if you have questions.

I have taken courses at both Hondros and Quest for Success both will be able to do the job.After you finish your classes you will want to interview with brokers and get sponsored for the test.

If I were you, I would interview lenders who specialize in commercial loans, find out what you can borrow with your credit and $100k down.

I originally found Bigger Pockets through the personal finance blogosphere (in various interviews Paula Pant and others recommended BP to anyone interested in real estate).
