Bring your questions to the forums.Another helpful tip is attend your local REI meet up and network with other flippers, offer to partner up may make you less money on your first few deals but it will give you plenty of knowledge to help propel you forward.

Why am I getting into the field, I hear you ask.Well, my parents are hitting retirement age and are having to work as hard as ever to sustain their lifestyles.Three kids on my mother's side and one on my father's means that I'm not holding out for a massive inheritence (though my mother has hinted that her life insurance pays out more than I would have expected...) and so, as with all things, I am learning to take control.I'm slowly coming full circle, have an interview for a job back in my old hometown and am remembering my dream as a 12 year old was to own hotels, coffee shops and houses.

Thank you all for the tips and words of wisdom.

I am open to all discussions and all information and tips that can help me really start moving forward and achieving my goals, thanks guys.

Hello All,I am new to the forum site, I came across while I was researching tips for real estate investing.I recently purchased my first single family home and what a great feeling that was.  

I have been asked to speak about different topics ranging from Top Landlord Pitfalls that will get you sued, Fair Housing Violations, Tips and Tricks to Lease your house... etc..Because I am investor that started out as an Airline pilot and started buying homes after 9/11 and then subsequently created a management company I have different take on being a property manager.

@Dmitriy Fomichenkothanks for the tip on the name.

If the current tenants want to stay offer, if you have the money, to put them up in a hotel while you fix them up but let them know the rent that will be required after fix up.
