I actually think the opposite.Last time I showed the house vacant, prospects couldn't even picture their own furniture in it.

Ordered business cards and a virtual phone number yesterday.

As I have virtually no knowledge of the real estate business, I signed up here to get some much needed tips and info and I'm certain I've come to the right place.See you around!

If you have experience running a real estate investing company, that experience is likely more applicable to creating a new company that focuses on designing clothes or building furniture than a new company that focuses on retail construction.

(Keep in mind that all three are good for various reasons; just stick to good neighborhoods and properties and you'll do well.)2) You have several options here:a) You can find a good wholesaler that you can trust to work with, although this option involves the most work.b) You can find a real estate agent that is an investor themselves, or at the very least specializes in working with investors full-time (this is a rare breed).c) Assemble a team within the market to do your legwork, such a a real estate partner (investor) or rehabbed that you pay to find, acquire, and rehab the properties that meet your requirements.d) Work with a local rehabber/contractor that focuses on rehabbing and flipping properties to investors.e) Or you can work with a full-service turnkey provider that handles virtually all of the above, handles a lot of the due-diligence, and walks you through the process step-by-step to help you choose the property(ies) that best fit your investment goals.3) Refer to #2. :-)I've been investing out-of-state since 2003 and it's not difficult.

I think today there are some younger people that have been indoctrinated with the identity theft fear so they assume anyone asking for a social is out to get them, unless you're a bank, credit card, rent to own furniture place or cashier offering store credit; they're all above board upstanding business members so they're ok. ;)

There is so much great information all over, I was in a Virtual Candy store of knowledge and experiences.

There is a business owner in the Carolina's I spoke with who wants to buy a 49,000 sq ft plot of land to build a second furniture store on.
