At this point I have zero experience investing in real estate investing and I've only been financially aware (i guess i'll call it that) for about a year. 

It's simple but 99/100 people won't do what it takes.It's all simple but people don't take action or do the work nor get fully immersed in this. 

I am financially stable and do not want to rock that boat too much by taking reckless risks.

@Ilya Reznikov yeah, these sub-forums don't get a lot of action but do feel free to post in the main Texas forum. 

I was about to sign with Country Financial on a personal policy (bundled with my auto) when they told me yesterday that the policy they quoted for this passed week will no longer work. 

Hi Everyone,Could anyone recommend a financial planner/accountant based in Rochester NY.

In short, I'd prefer to see some marketable skills on top of just finding a deal, such as construction skills, financial skills, or legal skills.

It is a decision based on their persona desires not financial goals.

With that in mind, you should expand your search to get you to the best financial position possible.
