Local REIA's are great places to start as well as meetups regarding real estate.However the process would be very slow and certainly not reliable til you can fully develop the various aspects of the business.I think my major point would be that having no money is not an excuse for not acting. :)happy investing.

I am a new BP member in search of a proven and a reliable contractor to do rehab of buy and hold properties in the Buffalo and Niagara areas.

Using a pre hung door from HD is the cheapest solution materials wise.

Find solutions, not problems!

That implies that we all have the right to be wrong.Your challenge is to post here in such a way that you attract answers and solutions that are helpful, although they may not always seem useful in the heat of the moment.

Find a solution to the problem and if you can work it into a deal, set the paperwork up or maybe sell it into a investor.

I ask sellers what they'll do with the money, that way if they're going to just put it in a bank a seller financing solution would be better for both him and I (I offer more than what the bank would)Everything else (how much is owed on the house (if any), tax issues, after repair value....etc) you can figure out later

Also, about setting a goal your conscious mind thinks can't happen, and letting the subconscious go to work on finding solutions.

Though, they have been a reliable source of affordable housing for many generations of homeowners in the past and the years to come.Hope that helps!

I started with an excel spreadsheet, notepad, planner, MLS, Top Producer, RealVolve, etc and honestly, this solution even has some things that drive me nuts, but it's the best one I've found so far. http://www.goconnectapp.com/I'm a new realtor (2.5 months), but I've sold 15 houses and am working with nearly 35 active buyers right now.
