Here's to everyone's ongoing growth and success! 

It's rather strange saying you're new and that you're a foreclosure specialist, hope you have a license.Sure you want to get on the wholesale circus train in Texas?

This inspector I know trains his guys and takes them to homes with him.

Hi Vanessa,               Welcome to the group...Like you, I am new to RE investing but what I do know is that all the information you need is in the group from Podcasts,Webinars,Blog Posts and most importantly the awesome individuals in the group...You will never need to pay those late night TV gurus "Thousands of $$$" for Master training to be successful(LOL).Lets put MA on the map since many people think its impossible because of the "High Cost Of Living"Cheers to your success!

A project that Karen may have is a current opportunity in larger sums, looking for money for small deals, less than $250K we'll say is usually something investors see as the manager being able to take down, these small needs should have been met with ongoing relationships as Brian mentioned.

Getting burned by some builders and lenders is just one of my points for people to watch out for in the go zone area.Bottom line, I think you took my original post on go zone investing TOO persoanlly as I was not attcking you or all go zone investments.

If it's an ongoing treatment that hits you up every month, then not so much. 

I am honestly very greatful for your suggestions...I had a friend insisting that i take the money and do one of the wholesaling 3 day workshop because he said one have to spend money to make money and since i don't know where/ how to begin investing rei he thought i should get sone hands on training on exactly how to begin....I wanted a rental first because it seems simple if i buy one that already have tenants with leases .

One fellow I know of owns over 50 SFH's and continues to expand his portfolio ongoing.

I used to have a property maintenance division and still have all of the equipment and trained employees.As a side note these duplexes bring anywhere from $800-$1000 a month depending on which unit.
