Study more, learn more, ask more questions, and try to net work with other investors who have more experience and can guide you further.

I  am new to real estate Investing but have been studying it for some time now.

Mainly, its reading the books and study with the book questions for each chapter.

I grew up in a family that taught me to go to college, study something useful, and get a job... and I did... and I can't imagine being more unhappy with the result.

That tends to not be my understanding since I've been studying and networking with people who are into notes.

Aloha, and welcome.I spent four years on Oahu studying.

So I've studied real estate quite a bit.

If you are still in a study period make sure you review this information carefully as it is the basis for your investment.

It was poorly written and was a convenient talking point about all the evil investors buying up property and turning the city into slums.The reality is that the worst effected areas, as the study you just citied is going to show, are concentrated and have been in decline for decades.  

The ability to increase your sales or income will be skills you need in REI.Fourth, keep studying RE.
