Hey Account Closed, congrats on snagging what could be an extremely powerful meeting and the source of many great connections to come!

If you can find such a place... more power to you.

Anyways, while focusing more and more on my financial future I was bitten by the real estate investing bug.

be organized.Example:3 months goalEnroll in real estate class-network and meet at least 3 real estate related professionalsSave XXX dollars toward first purchaseWork on marketing strategy, and overall strategy (define markets, focus will be SFR, buy and hold with 150.00 cash flow etc) 6 month goal--pass real estate exam--Save xxx--Improve credit score from 675 to 745make these goals quantifiable and specific, in other words you can cross them off when you get them done.The plan won't be perfect buy it's a plan and you show you are executing on it. 

yes I think so (unless you have construction experience yourself).. would focus on renovations, cosmetics first.. then go into development.
