@Jonathan BlandinoConsider getting an entry level property management job the good companies will train you.Paul

When you say force entry are you talking about a master key or actually forcing or breaking in the door?

I'm also considering financing borrowers but believe there is more safety and leverage to make this move as a partner with other capital suppliers. 2016 should afford me plenty of time to narrow down my interest and build my network to support a solid and viable investment entry next year.

Lowering in "barriers to entry" means more deals, more learning and hopefully more money.  

Barrier to entry is very low, so easy to prey on the ill informed.I'm new to notes too, but have a couple of decades in unsecured paper.

We operate in a "niche"...We are a HUD authorized real estate brokerage that works almost exclusively with investors (both wholesalers and rehabbers) helping them acquire undervalued properties.Lately we have had a lot of interest from new investors that are excited about the market segment and can't wait to dive in, but have a potential entry level problem...

Even read some entries on this forum and I seem to keep getting conflicting answers.I'm looking to make an offer on a property in GA, it's a tri-plex (two 2br units and a carriage house).  

So my question is what are some low entry real estate niches with short cycle times to ROI.Very loose example:  Is there a vehicle out there where you can put in $2k - $15k and get back 20 - 30% (or more) return every 4 - 8 weeks, wash rinse repeat?

I feel like there must be a company that makes an app or technology for smart phones where someone (like UPS or FedEx) can call you and you can unlock an entry door from a distance.Much thanks!

If you can start by getting your state Residential LO license, you can use this license to look for trainee or entry level position jobs with commercial mortgage/loan companies close to you.
