He hit the nail on the head about cherry picking.

David, just because you got sucked into some program what experience, education and qualifications do you have to even evaluate such a program and then advise others to head in that direction?

Hi, I'm completely new to investing but have been thinking a lot about where to buy and wrapping my head around the idea of buying where the cost-benefit makes sense, not where I think would be a cool/good place to own property.

I would love to encourage people to get rid of the word "because" in the head and stop the habit of whining.

I've been reading a ton, and trying to wrap my head around the different strategies, payment options and "first steps".At the moment I'm focused on flipping and buy/hold.

Tutwiler, my head just exploded trying to understand the posts in that link, lol.

After I get to 50 units I hope to quit the day job and then plan to head for 100 units.

Being good with numbers gives you a great head start to investing.

I just somehow feel like getting a realtor license keeps me in the same boat.Anyway, I love your input on the subject as I pound my head on things to try and decide if getting a license is the thing for me.

If I'm heading your way sometime we should grab coffee.
