We have set up our website and social networks, have attended the local REIA meetings, and are about to launch our first mailing campaign.

The average social security payment is less than $1200 per month - and millions of baby boomers are retiring every year with little or no other income available.

Currently, I am a social worker for a non profit called The Matthews House, and I am just getting into real estate investing.

The book writes: “Los Angeles leadership persisted in believing they could turn back the clock and become cheaper, and by traveling this low road they could hence compete with Texas, Alabama, and Mexico.They did some of this in the name of social justice, calling for jobs for low-skill workers.

BiggerPockets is a social network for real estate investors. 

While many attorneys in some areas will offer a free visit, it's usually for bankruptcy, social security claims, accidents, divorce matters and often that visit is a sales pitch as to why you need them.

The cool thing was is that it wasn't all about real estate investing it was totally relaxed and we had a great evening socializing and making new friends.

Nor have I done credit or background checks.I think getting to know a person and social judgment is underrated.

If it's instead that you have 300k to spend and the house is paid off and with social security or other retirement you eek by then I would think about if I want to do that or not.I get it that people want peace of mind but I think that comes more from a recurring income stream.Can you imagine having 100k,200k, 500k a year coming in from investments and you only live off of 70k??

Thank you again for the welcome guys i really think i will love this Social Website.
