Yesterday I attended a meeting of Connecticut Real Estate Investor Association and it felt like it was primarily occupied by people who knew little about real estate and wanted to be spoonfed information by an expensive coaches?

But eventually you take the leap… you decide to go for it and you tread water until you can swim to the next level of your future.For me, I was about 20 attending a photography seminar as a store employee and the day I heard that phrase it hit me… I’m going nowhere being the employee.  

Finding the right deal in a small market like Oxford, AL can be tricky, but here’s how you can go about it: Start by networking locally—talk to real estate agents, attend meetups, and connect with other investors to find leads.

However, you can expect to recover about 50-55% of your investment when selling the home.Another good option would be to consider converting attic space, finishing a basement, or repurposing a large living area to add a bedroom without expanding the home's footprint.Some other tips to help you save on materials while still creating an appealing finished product: buy in bulk, shop at discount stores and outlets, look for overstock, discontinued items, or slightly imperfect materials, attend auctions and Estate sales, incorporate reclaimed wood, vintage fixtures, or other salvaged items for a unique look at a lower cost, build relationships with suppliers...If you have any more questions or are looking for funding please feel free to reach out to us, we're a private lender.Regards,Jackson

I recently attended a real estate convention in Southern California and briefly talked with an Atlanta agent.

If not already on your radar, consider attending the FAVR Extravaganza Sept 9-11.

Thanks @Koren Lavi I did attend few through eventbrite but they turned out to be something else than what they claimed to be lol.

They do have success stories from Students that took the coaching program.I attend the Meetings, to network, network, network!
