[FIELD, p. 32]

It's not necessarily the money that's driving me to this field -- it's the personal freedom I'll have once I'm set-up: 2-3 month vacations and long weekends at the beach.I have no illusions that this is a get-rich quick business.

Shawnn - You can learn a lot about why Kansas City is a terrific market to learn and begin your investing career.

I got lucky and lined up a very high paying job in my field (75k per year + bonuses) and I will start working there this summer.

So far i'm looking at austin, tx as a long-term investment but i'm open to investing in other areas.at 21 (dec '04) i bought a house in socal with 100% financing that should have never been approved. i was struggling financially so i decided to rent my townhouse to a stripper after only 4 months. i realized the local market (riverside county) needed a major correction so i sold the house after one year (dec '05) for a healthy 20% profit. today, the house is worth the same as when i sold it and i think it's on it's way down.anyway, i am making twice as much money today as i was then, i've learned a lot about real estate investing from books and personal experience over the years, and i think i'm ready to start my career in real estate investing!

Look for blue Field Capital's ads. 8)

If you are serious about making this a full time career, then I would write a short 5-year business plan that details how you will get from where you are now to where you want to be.

[/quoteThis is my major field of investing not selling REO, but with that said I will provide you with everything you need up to date contacts and all been tested around the states by others but since you live in the same state that I live in I will tell you this I have had mine checked out by a hand full of attorneys and they have always passed.

It's not all bad though, it's actually a great career.

Hi,I am totally new in this field and I am not an investor.My landlord is an investor and from him I learn few words like foreclosure etc.so I started learning and now I am at a point where I know few things.
