Don't get me wrong though, some of the small seminars will be very helpful especially if you no knowledge at all of investing.Than Merrrill is in town the next couple weeks, or his lackies are maybe, but anyways, this 3 hour seminar will still give some decent info while they try to sell you the 3 day seminar.Even the 3 day seminar for a few hundred dollars can be helpful.

As you have already witnessed, some great people on this forum with a wealth of insight and knowledge.

They advise their client based on market knowledge and local expertise.

It sounds like you already have a great deal of knowledge and experience, but I'm sure BP will give you even more.

Not too long ago I started reading about the HUD investing strategy, but I do not yet feel confident in my knowledge to start going down that path.I do not have a great source of funds, but I did think about the possibility using my buyers' funds to purchase the homes and then assign the deed to the buyers that lended the money.

Do not forget about accountant, knowledgable agent, and I suggest you present deals on BP before you finalize anything especially if this is your first time.

The knowledge you will gain here will help you more than you can imagine!

Hey everyone I was wondering if any investors in my area would be willing to mentor on there own time or even just teach some real world knowledge from time to time I'd be happy to exchange my time doing unwanted task for yours.

I have a business partner who will contribute passion and knowledge of the process, but no finances, so we'd love to find another investor looking to work together, (especially another woman as we've kind of conceptualized this as a women's investment vehicle) to supplement the cash I'll have for the deal.

I highly advise you to consult a knowledgeable attorney in the area, because mis-steps in this process can be enormously costly, especially in the Bay.
