Now that i am out of the military working in a new W2 career, i am trying to get back into the RE investing and actually understand how to invest more appropriately and correctly compared to just purchasing houses that i would like to live in...Currently i have about 80k saved up for my next investment deal and just feel like im coming up short on anything even coming close to 1% rule, so to see if there are ways to invest it, i figured i would ask the public how they would go about investing the money, because i am always up for learning something new.If possible, could you throw a quick example or maybe a short answered deal you could possibly go buy today in your own market to get an idea...I am currently searching up to 2hrs from the Tampa, FL area.

@Alden Zuck I have seen a lot of these programs this one does not sound very different to me, you can learn most aspects of wholesaling online for free and save the $5,000 to put towards marketing. 

If you are not self-employed, then a self-directed IRA is a great option.Either way, the plan is all about diversification for retirement savings. 

As our first deal I’m looking for the best option so we can get moving, save profits and add more and more properties at a time into our portfolio.Thank you all so much.

I will have extra savings due to my low expenses and have been contemplating ways to invest it, and I always seem to come to the conclusion of real estate investing.

Today we are announcing that we have added thousands of dollars in savings to the Pro account!

I have no real intention of being an agent, as an investor, I just want access to the MLS in my area and to save a percent or two on commissions of our buying and selling.I am personally very interested in the commercial aspects of real estate and investing, and was wondering if I could be sponsored by a commercial brokerage, or if I would have to have a different license to do so. 

A contractor is proposing to do the roofing and siding through my insurance, he says it will save me out of pocket money.

@Mike Dacc Would living in an apartment save you money over living in the first unit of the duplex?

You'd actually be saving money with the interest AND he might feel like he's getting a great deal at 300k.
