My major is Real Estate and I'm very excited to learn more and more about this industry.I have for some reason always been intrested in Real Estate, especially the commercial aspects and "flipping houses".

. - Hope: Too many marketers are appealing to fear---although fear is a compelling emotional trigger, the majority of people don't want to be reminded what they will lose, they want to be reassured that there is a chance for recovery

This question is based on the assumption that the great majority of real estate wholesalers (and other investors) are honest and well meaning, and therefore set up their deals to create win-win-win situations for sellers, end buyers and themselves.

Credit, income, and assets are not major factors.Loan is typically around 70% arv.Will send a pm to you.

As far as real estate investing is concerned, it is something i have been interested in for a long time just not really familiar on where to start...i am leaving the army in 11 months and am starting college in Dayton, OH and am majoring in real estate/property management.

Then head to a major bookstore and read the RE books there.3.

Not sure I totally agree with ScottFicek's analogy about hillbillies, as I'm from the South and hillbillies/rednecks can be found 25 miles outside of any major city in the U.S, but I do understand and agree with his logic.......the term "slumlord" should definitely be attributed to the person's lack of care about the tenants & property and not the low income housing they are investing in.

They run a major REIA in Atlanta.

Some major areas and some rather rural areas.

hello everyone, i'm a beginning investor and i need some help/advice on putting this deal together.well anyway here is my story, just the other day i found a vacant run down boarded up house in a good neighborhood (were the other properties have beening selling kinda high and etc), this propery was listed by this real estate companyso i called the real estate company got the price of the property and setup a walk through to see just how bad it was inside, so the next day we went through the property and man i tell you this property needs alot of worknow at this point i am only interested in wholesaling the property to another investor because i think the rehab will be a little to much for me being a beginner and etc, so i told the agent to make an offer on the property, and after some negotiation the seller said as far as he'll come down on the price is $10,000so here is my problem, the agent said before we can go any farther i need to show proof of funds ((becuase no bank would give you a mortgage on a property like that, so whoever that'll purchase would need to be a cash buyer)) and open escrow with about $2,000 which i don't have any funds ((i just want to tie this property up/get it under contract so i can sale it to another investor)), plus the agent told me that the listing agent of the property is also a rehaber and said if i dont take it he'll take it, and the only reason he's giving me that opportunity is because he's already rehabing a couple of other properties right now ((which i don't know if this is a tactic to get me to get the property faster or what))but here is some info about this deal, the property was listed at $79,900 and was reduced to $65,000 about a month ago, then i got them down to $55,000, and the properties in the same neighorhood with the same specs are selling for $142,900 in good conditionso how to i go about tieing this property up especially when working with a real estate agent, oh yeah something i forgot to mention i even have friend that would be interested in buying the property off of me to rehab it, its just that he wants me to find him a hard money lender to work with......SO IF SOMEONE CAN HELP, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE WAITING ON ME TO MAKE A MOVE
