Before long you will have a game-plan and be armed with information and a group of people here willing to answer questions you have.

So early in the game though, I have to do much more reading.Ned Carey:I am new to both, so yes I know it would require some time to get familiar.

Hi Dan,We have had success with many wholesale deals on our platform.

They are a pain in the ***, take a long time to close, and charge higher interest rate with more points then normal FHA or conventional loans, but if you dont have the money to start another way it can be a great way to get your foot in the game.

Financing is an entirely different game.

I see the benefit of paying a membership fee which gets "skin in the game " and commits people.

Hi Karen and Joel, I am not a Social Media VA, but I think Facebook and Google+, are great tools for Marketing your available properties.I have a client that does Rehabs and she will post the before and after pictures of the properties; then she will post when they are available.I think those 2 Social Media sites are great platforms for Property Management and New Construction.

I think it's much smarter to play the long game and make your goal to pay off the properties as fast as possible with the intent to hold them indefinitely.
