Hello Everyone, I've been interested in Real Estate for a couple years now, and thanks to the incredible BiggerPockets beginners guide I feel I'm ready to get started, but since my personal situation is so crazy, I was hoping I could get some suggestions on getting started with the quick and shortened version of my situation.

If you haven't done so already, there's a Beginner's Guide to Investing (top of page, under "Learn") you might want to read, along with several podcasts to listen to.Have fun, ask questions, and I'll see you on the forums!

That would be my main concern here...not whether you can get 4.25 instead of 4.375 (although you should shop around to other lenders unless you have some loyalty to this one for some reason).One thing to consider, it's the beginning of the year, so you'll likely have to pay the entire years worth of taxes now...this could be a good chunk of money.

If you're wholesaling, you really don't RE, that is the beginner strategy with a very narrow scope of activities.

I am contemplating making an offer on a 1995 double-wide mobile home through one of these auction sites but saw two problems that concern me: 1) the back door won't open - it seems to be pretty firmly jammed shut; and 2) there is evidence of damage on the ceiling of the same side of the home, near a fireplace.

as far as End Buyers are concerned, how do I best secure my position with out having this person go right to my buyers directly.The wholesaler states that the bank is not allowing him to provide all the details about the properties until PFO & LOI are received (hence question#2) and with the amount of properties that he has at the moment for me to help him with, and REO's can't be assigned, how do I structure my agreement with buyers to secure my fee?
