I am looking to start with the best and most recommended way to get into the game with about $7000 liquid cash.

For new investors I still believe it is an imperative part of learning the game of finding great properties and wholesaling by driving your farm area or targeted neighborhood (as well as doing your other methods of adverting for them).

This isn't a problem from a cash-flow standpoint or even an equity standpoint, the problem is with then lenders wanting skin in the game.

It is so good to see a community that helps people that are new to the real estate game.

I have been been investing on the light side since 2001, but am aiming to really up my game.

I am also interested in a Short Sale strategy of REI and would love to pick your brain as I am relatively new to the game.

nope, I've got 5 children, so a rented mini-van was the way to go.It's to bad the Cards didn't win........but what an amazing game.

Investors generally have their own money in the game so it is in their best interest to get the properties into livable condition or find someone who will be willing to do the rehab.

Using any kind of positive appreciation number in this real estate environment is a fools game.
