I hope you guys/gals show the same enthusiasm and share your knowledge.A little background about me (you can skip this if you'd like) 23, just started researching about a week and a half ago; extensively if i might add, live in the panhandle of Florida and plan to take my Real Estate Sales Associate class in 2 months.Initially I wanted to use this information to get inside of the heads of my buyers and sellers but I am more intrigued by investing myself.

I work with investors and funding companies that purchase private mortgage notes.

I am currently about to get into some private investing, but my ultimate goal is to form an investment firm or business if you will.

Obviously, you have to have it done before the foreclosure sale (sometimes you can get an extension from the bank).

Send me a private message.

Hi Everyone,I am glad I found this forum, it seems to be one of the more active ones.I come from an extensive background in Real Estate brokerage and investing (Foreclosures Fixer Uppers, Notes etc.).

One of the REIAs had severe money problems and has become a private for-profit enterprise and appears more interested in making money than being a place to share info.If I had to make a recommendation for a REIA in Columbus, I would recommend the Columbus Property Investors Association.Mike

I personally don't get property inspections, but I also have extensive experience in construction, maintenance, and rehabbing.

As far as a complete DD checklist thread, i have not seen any such thing, yet :)For a private residence, i would do some basic things, these will lead to other things for you to investigate.

HiMy main goal - to build a working model for REI clubs in Ukraine, 'cause it's completely new approach for private investors here.Any assistance is welcomed :D Regards.
