I'm a electrician who works for a real estate investor who is teaching me the ropes of the trade.

I'm an animator, filmmaker, and photographer by trade, and I own investment property in Manhattan and Indiana, and have begun setting up a virtual wholesaling business in Austin, Texas. 

If I can trade this in for something that is cash flowing at $10k or better every month I'm home free, no more day job!

I am a petroleum engineer by trade and am wanting to get more into REI. 

I think something like 11 properties traded in the last 2 years.  

Oh, and the fines --  not good.Sounds like you are mixing with too many competitors.Go underground, deal with only sellers who need to sell.Increase your margins of profits.Tax sale poaching...... a method to find the equities.  

The methods described above are ways to obtain the funds that you invested into the property in order to get it ready for sale, but they also create debt and are not truly paying you back. 

I trade a Sail for a Sale for you investors that need a Realtor.Investors-I would like to help you with your Wholesales, Flips, and Rentals while also learning the investor trade from you.

I like the idea of using specialists...otherwise you get a jack of all trades, master of none. 

I'm looking to meet people in the area that are in this business network with and who are open to bounce ideas off of.Additionally I'm looking for methods and guidance from others on how I can locate "quality" rental properties without paying retail rates.
