It cost them dearly.Watching the “trends” would be a smart practice and I know the “big boys” of investing do that, so they don’t end up with a “stall” of purebreds with no race to go to.The “greed” of some investors is so intoxicating that, like an alcoholic, they never see disaster coming because they’re not looking anymore.Almost every night, the networks bring their “doom and gloom” reports of how horrible it is and how much more horrible it will probably be very soon.

I dont want to take the fun out of RE investing, but I dont want to sontinue the corproate rat-race another 5+ years either.

Now that I am trying to invest on a full time basis, I find that the available RE foreclosure sites which I used to use, do not have enough or timely information for me to compete with others.Despite the high number of foreclosures in AZ (Maricopa County), there is a rat race to get to the best "deals".

You need to find out what protected groups there are in your jurisdication, in addition to the federal groups: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (including children under the age of 18 living with parents of legal custodians, pregnant women, and people securing custody of children under the age of 18), and handicap (disability).

Currently we are looking for trailer parks in SC and GA.Found the rat race enough and packed up, put the house on the market, and moved all in 2 months, with no idea where I was going to end up.Well it's great to be here, and I'm glad I can put some of my experiences to good use here on BP.

My goal is to get out of the rat race and occasionally turn a deal when I want to.

And off to the investment races we went.Good Luck,Jason

I raise horses and birds, been here for over 20 years now....city girl turned country.

My wife and I believe slow and easy is the best way to win this race, but we'd like to keep growing our portfolio as we achieve experience and success.
