I am interested in rehabing houses, specifically houses picked up in foreclosure or part of estate sales.  

If 99.9% of the ones you are having contact with that way are that bad, maybe it is time to adjust how you pick a Realtor?  

If there's anything I've picked up from BP, it's that "buying right" is a critical part of investing successfully. 

I wished I'd learned earlier to put the video games down and pick up a book about investing in RE.

I'm still in my beginner learner phase, and I learn best by doing.I am hoping to find somebody that would be willing to walk me through a random deal or two, or a past deal that they have done - to learn to see if it's a good or bad deal.

If that works, pick a number between the max and min, and move forward.Do you need a partner?

I just feel like it's a better choice for them, plus they're getting a check every month for that property, even though the risk is that the option might not be picked up.   

To narrow down this demographic, you will start by choosing the "Geography" of where you're looking (I'd pick the State and County of whatever market).Next, you'll search under the "Property" tab and use the "Equity%" filter.

He is planning on retiring in the next 3-4 months but is picking up random jobs to keep him busy.
