You can make a lot of money by directing that restless energy through some organized planning.

its a small amount to work with...it depends on your risk....however, start investing with little as possible. go wholesale investing orif you are skilled in marketing and moving the property.

If Josh is organizing something next week, I'll just wait until then, since I'm already (likely) meeting up with Wheatie tonight.

Hello I am doing just about anything to be able to find a group or individual that can provide a stream of rehads, foreclosure, preforclosures etc for 2007let me know if you know any organization in Central Florida that can help me accomplish thisBW

2 men that have professional direct sales experience and are business men, that just needs to make an adjustment to real estate investing and does not have to learn about sales, business, marketing working independently, canvassing, objection handling, closing skills, phone skills, etcccThey will benefit from the deals that we can bring them for the time period that they mentor us, if not them it will be someone else, so the question is would they want to pass up $100k+ or more in potential profits from deals that they would have not normally gotThey have more to lose and everything to gain, since we will find someone who will mentor us and get our deals for the time period that we partner up and any future real estate venture business they can receive from us in the future.Are you a full time investor, and if you are what questions would you ask the investor before teaming up with them.

Getting licensed would be a great way learn the market, pick up some skills of the trade and hopefully earn an income.I am also wondering if there are any limitations on Realtors purchasing MLS bargain homes (other than the disclosure) and if it's legal for Realtors to wholesale non listed property to other investors.Would appreciate the info :)Thanks

Well that would depend on a lot of things - your level of skill, the timeframe you have, cash available.

Some books I enjoyed include "The unofficial guide to real estate investing" (Kind of dry though) real estate riches by dolf de roos, and the ABC's of RE investing by ken mcelroyI have an audio CD thing from Robert Shemin which in my opinion is absolutely fantastic - especially with negotiation skills.

I've posted detailed information about my organization in the " Real Estate Guru, Book & Course Reviews" area in the forum in the following thread: http://forums.biggerpockets.com/viewtopic.php?

I don't know of any clubs in the area, but you can organize a meetup.
