Hi All,  I see this thread dates back a couple of years and while it looks like some of you were just starting out, I have to imagine that you are doing great things now!!

I can't imagine what my future holds with REI investing but I can assure you I will have BP to thank for it when I make my first step.V/r, Jeffrey Reyes ~ Miami Florida

I imagine I need to start by reinvesting my returns into more investments.

hi everyone my name is Thong ( imagine me growing with that name while the THONG song came out.

I'd imagine the broker would get their compensation or that agent would likely not last with that broker. 

I can easily imagine a seller filing a complaint/lawsuit on how they were taken advantage of by the unscrupulous licensed, skilled professional real estate agent.

@Javier Gil, depreciation begins when the property is "placed in service," which is when it is ready and available for rent, which I imagine is what you mean when you say "the month I turned it into an investment property."

So far i have read "rich dad poor dad" which got my whole investing imagination going and now I'm reading "think and grow rich" by Napolean Hill which is not as entertaining but really motivates me.Thank you again for the response, and this definitely helped me.

As you can imagine just 1 year removed from High school I was elated working full time with benefits.
