Read Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which will help you understand why real estate is a fine investment.Put on your "Sunday best" (dress up) and simply go to the Open.

I know someone here who runs one of these clubs very successfully.I've never attended a RE guru seminar, but from the snippets I've seen, its the same content as in the books and the BP podcasts, but dressed up in a funny story or some other fun form.

@Hunter Ambos you took a good first step by how you dress.

Just open up the can and dive in with a spoon or you dress it up some? 

I look at the house with a contractor and it's going to need an easy $50-$60k to dress it up, fix foundation and asbestos issues, among other things and at best you might get $1,900 gross rent each month. 

Same women different dress...Perhaps try to find local investors group to join.

I dress professional all the time.

Never, ever. ever dress better or drive better than your tenants anywhere they or their friends might see you.

It would only be surface dressing to all your follow up questions. 

I dressed in my business casual so I didn't look threatening.
