I have met many veterans and active duty members that have great knowledge and commitment towards real estate investing.

That may sound like a lot, but that's the time commitment it usually takes for the best content.

Several of us on here started that way.If you find a deal that is undervalued it is possible to find private money since their loan will be based on the value, not what you pay.You can buy with sweat equity where you commit work and repairs in lieu of a down payment.You can buy on a lease option.Borrow against your car.Buy on payments from the owner where you will make larger than normal pymts until equity is built up and you can refinance.Find someone with money who will buy the property then sell it to you for a profit and/or carry to earn interest.

Hello all,I'm counting on some advice and help with q's here, as I'm committed to attending my 1st tax deed auction in upstate NY (Catskill, Hudson R. area) on Sept. 11.

Many - actually most in some areas - times, you will learn of it with no notice, so when the tenant exhibits enough decorum to advise you well in advance, it is best to work with them to make it a win-win scenario.In this case, the tenant has communicated they will stay for another 6-months, but cannot commit beyond that period.You can work with them on this.

Days I work, I commit to work.

After you have done a few deals and feel fully committed, set up a LLC so it is easier for you and your partner to split profit.

I appreciate all the thanks you've given to me and everyone else here -- we're a committed group of people working for a common cause -- the growth and success of investors.Let us know if you need help getting your business plan in order.

South facing, gentle slope in the mountains, river, close to city, etc.We intend to raise ~$600K loan ($350 already committed) to complete predevelopment and entitlement and will follow with an equity round.Does anyone have an example of a 2-3 page Executive Summary or Offering Brief that I can model?

Ultimately one's success depends on their education, persistence and commitment and not on any one specific program or seminar.
