I could use the cash sale of these two parcels to financing the majority of the price to build the eventual house that will go on this land3-This would allow me to control how many neighbors I'll have (I don't want a neighborhood with houses spaced 15 feet apart going up)So, maybe a bit of an investment, I don't really think sitting it for 3 years would let it appreciate much in value, but, it would give me control and future sale of any of the remaining property would be put towards building of the new house.

Becoming a real estate is a great way to learn the culture of that side of real estate - what you won't learn at Realtor School is how to invest - creative financing and making money.What you will learn is how to keep from getting sued - how to use their forms and making full disclosures.Learn the business from their prospective - but keep in mind (before you become brained washed) that your real goal is to become a successful investor.So - follow their rules - but start to study real estate investing - get a mentor - go to auctions, tax sales - foreclosures - make offers on expired listings.So to make your broker happy -- list a few properties and sell some also.Apply for a credit line, check protection and set up some joint ventures with friends and relatives.You WON'T make that much as an agent - but you'll become wealthy if you learn how to CONTROL and ROLL real estate - make sure you learn advanced creative real estate formulas and use those principals often.Good luck with your release from incarceration of employment.

Keep in mind that even if you get 100% financing, most lenders are expecting interest payments each month.I have a hunch when you hear the radio ads talking about getting into real estate investing with no money, they are talking about wholesaling.
