I own no real estate.I have time to dedicate to investing but not more than nights and weekends will allow.

I found this online, and it was not listed on the MLS.

Investing sight unseen is what you hear from the late night so-called gurus.

I tell them that after I verify their employment and income I will run their credit and they will have to pay the credit check fee online.

If the public library is the "poor man's university", the information and online learning opportunities on the internet takes that even further.

John,I'll concede that you have absolutely nothing to do but post all day and all night long.

Any free seminars on-line.

I live and own all in NY--are these places online legit?

Hope this helps.JamesMy county recorder records are on line, and I did a search on the man's name--the property is listed in his and hers names.
