hey everyone newbie here. i have been doing research and feel blessed to have come across this site. for about the last few months i have been unemployed and collecting and realizing that working for a company is not the way i wanted to go. so i have been looking into foreclosure sales and properties. i guess what i need is someone to just point me in the right direction. i live in new york so i know alot of properties are real expensive out here. and right now i only got about 1k to play with. i am extremely determined and basically dont wanna end up like my father working his whole life and not having anything to show for it. any advice is appreciated i guess if anyone can tell me if i should get my liscence or not. also which books or courses i should take. also any body from new york with info of where to go here. and how i can get access to seminars and auctions so i can get my feet wet. also where i can find info on all of those no money down deals i hear and not using your own money.
