The term "real estate investor" is often used very broadly to include a number of real estate related JOBs.

I understand the question is a bit broad, just looking for some general advice.

It went pretty well and worked out with my schedule, since I work a 9-5.The topics were pretty broad.

You might consider broading your horizions.

Then you define the properties highest and best use.

It's sheer madness.I don't have a defined plan to get there but I am considering doing multifamily perhaps on a buy-fix-hold basis.

They are talking about reversing the sale of 142 liens.http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/mayor-proposes-broad-reforms-to-tax-lien-sales/2013/09/13/a0933688-1cc0-11e3-8685-5021e0c41964_story.html?

@Ben Grise and i definately agree with talking to local landlords (thus expanding buyers lists) that being said, i dont know much about ball state market, but definately contact the school for #'s on how many students are year round.

Wholesaling is a lot different than buying tax liens/deeds, which is also a lot different than a waterfront cottage (which may not be an investment if it's not generating cash-flow for you).There is certainly a lot you can do with $200k, but you need to define what your end goal is.
