A year after educating myself and researching markets, I purchased my first deal in March of this year.

We also advertise in many real estate publications to back up our other marketing dollars.

If you are they typical newbie without much money and credit not all that great..Or maybe you don't have that problem but not to sure how to get started as well..This is for those who haven't got their first deal or not having consistent success..Here it goes, first of all get to understand your market, attend club meetings and network find out who the players are, your making a step of doing that already just by posting on the forum..Also educate yourself but warning don't overload yourself with with tapes and seminar materials it will lead to confusion and alot of money spent..Not saying seminars are bad sometimes we can get so excited that we're spending more money than we're making.Find a strategy that fits you and develop on it.

They usually have web access to public records and they may give you access.

I am from Cali. and I love to educate and to be educated!

The class education requirement for VA is 2 weeks, then you have to wait a couple of weeks for Dept of Pro O & Regulations (DPOR) to get your records inputted.

I get these deals at a discount from the seller and I sell them to the general public.

after that's out of the way, i'd like to jump back into the REI educational process and start buying more for the return/income stream.Can someone point me to a forum or a book to read that can help me with such a basic transaction?

Listen them during your drive time and you'll get educated very quickly.
