@Will-stephanie Ceballos  The Beltline is a game changer in my opinion.  

If you are interested in getting into the real estate game, do it on more relaxed terms.

I figured my heart was in the right place, but as a more novice investor, you always want validation from a more experienced player in the game.

When negotiating a contract assignment with your end-buyer, what is the criteria used for determining how much of an earnest deposit to ask for, in order to insure the end-buyer has some skin in the game and is not so prone ti back out of the transaction during escrow?

Real estate agents, mortgage lenders, title companies and escrow companies are familiar with harried changes to the HUD-1 closing statement and to mortgage documents, which changes often lead to aggravating delays and additional costs.As of August 1, 2015 our closing table dramas are scheduled to come to an end.The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), Federal legislation enacted in 1974 to protect consumers from unscrupulous and confusing real estate practices, is changing in several significant ways.

i have a investor looking to buy deeds and can close in 48 hours but not sure whats the best way to find deeds and people have been telling me its a tricky game where brokers buy deeds for less then nothing and try selling it for a outrageous price 

One word of advice:  w/ no track record, most potential investors will want you to put significant skin in the game.     

A big part of the flipping game is speed!

Shalan,I think with the big banks you are caught in the waiting game.

Every titan started with his/her first deal...you happen to be decades ahead of most, and for a long game like REI, by the time you're my age you can have an empire of your own design.
