Is it simply a piece of paper stating the seller cannot sell the property to anyone else?

Not because i "didn't apply myself" but because what they were teaching was so watered down and regurgitated from the previous years that i was deathly bored of it, and a piece of paper (diploma) simply was not worth it to me.

What that means is not always simple.

I have a book or two from Bronchick and a download from Diamond, the cost isn't the issue - it's which will give me the information to get started as a beginner.My background is accounting, so I started with 'doing the numbers' on paper, looking at quads for sale in my area and talking to other investors.Now it's time to fish or cut bait, so which course would you (experienced investors please) choose if you were just starting?

The Denver Post had an article in todays paper with a very impressive and detailed map.

I like the simple and to the point approach.

The simple answer is that you need to follow the law in your state/city.

I haven't done my first deal yet, but I figured this week, I'd put a add out in the paper to attract sellers of cosmetically distressed property and then in the mean time try to get some investors that may be interested in them.

Now to me it sounds simple enough..

Based on the fact that depreciation is forced, I don't really see how it's possible to not incur a loss on paper.
