Looking to meet people and learn more around real estate investing.Currently I own my own home - and am now ready to consider investing in other real estate opportunities.

Take your time, express your interest in purchasing the property when he's ready.

I am in Somerset Country and invest in long term buy and hold multi families that require very little to get them up to rent ready status.This is a great place to learn and network about our fav. subject!!

I am looking at buying my first rental property and wondering what strategy makes the most sense, I have some cash can buy one house that might not be in an area where the value will go up anytime soon but has slot of renters and the house would need little work if any before its ready to rent, option 2 would buy maybe 2 in that area but they need work so can use a credit card to cover the repairs and help build my credit ( I have a good score just not a real long history which the bank dont seem to like) option 3 would be take the cash I have to cover 20% or higher of a down payment on a house in a better area where rent is 300 higher on average my goal is to buy and hold and rent maybe down the road get into buying and selling thanks for any opinions

I think it has real potential, however, I don't think most people are ready to invest in a virtual currency--at least not right now (when the time is right!).

From a brokers perspective the buyer has to be ready, willing, able, and realistic to do a deal.

., appliances, carpets, furnaces, roofs, etc.)Speaking of carpets, new carpets every 3-5 years.Property management.Make ready costs.

I've seen REO's listed for $30k more than a ready to move in house down the street,,either the agent was crazy or the bank calculated value by what was owed on it.The bank has to realize the loss on its books when the sale occurs, until then they still have an asset, and they are putting down what they think its worth,,,if they aren't ready to realize the loss, they may keep a higher value, then reduce it over time to keep from taking too much of a loss at one time (another reason they sit on inventory so long, they don't want to sell too many at once)andy

Just like you are describing, totally unreasonable complaints - people getting ready for work, talking on the phone, I mean, c'mon.

While they may not have decided or are ready to sell, there are plenty of services that you could be the go-to person for.Your objective ought to be to control the access to these people and to be the de facto center of it all.
