However I would still want to keep my fulltime job and have real estate be something I do alongside my fulltime job.My question is with limited capital how could I best get started on this challenge?

I would try with your current insurer (unless it's Safeco).Allstate is quite popular, but are limited to insuring 4 properties - http://www.allstateagencies.com/DeanBarnard/WelcomeAmerican Family Insurance seems pretty flexible and will insure over 100 properties - http://insurance-agency.amfam.com/GA/robin-l-mitchell/Can your property manager recommend someone?

And I know my limitations and when to bring in the experts who will do a better job than I would.Thanks again.

Unfortunately, it's going to be tough to have such a limited role in the investment (especially with limited knowledge/experience) and still be successful on your own.

Hardmoney lending is sort of like being a limited partner in a real estate partnership with a little more skin in the game.

IMO, it's one of our most dangerous laws and one that should be strictly limited.

Check out the special programs in your area as they may have something like it -- I was shocked at how high the income limit was to be accepted into the program.

Semi-nursing homes with limited care may be given.Low income housing, new units under tax credit programs.More si-fi, private communities larger tracts with seperate housing units in rural areas, one is popping up near here.

I assumed it was public knowledge not to hide it but perhaps limit future losses.....but then again, it might not be so bad of a hit, I wouldn't hold it, but he may be happy to.

I was just curious as to other ideas of investment properties, I know we have to purchase a like property but wasn't sure if it has to be a duplex or can it be a retail or commercial property or can we purchase single family homes to rent out, I think the latter is probably off limits I just looking for different stratagies
