I've contemplated investing out of state, but am not comfortable going into a market blind.

If it doesn't, at least the inspector will tell you what to fix and you could fix at a minimum cost rather than go fix blind. 

well for 95% of the people, what i just said is pretty much true. unless you finish at the top of your class or are going to school for something really useful.i bet that college tuition is not worth it for most. they are blindly choosing to go to college because they think its the right thing

When I said "immediately," I meant once my broker had my license, not the second I pass the test.I'm worried that I'm going in blind.

@Natasha Wade  I suspect this happens but on its face its TERRIBLE business practice.. and as  HML I would NEVER do this.. giving nameless people who may or may not be credit worthy the ability to tie up property, based on this phony letter is just HORRIBLE way to do business.In my mind your either in the business ,,, have thought it through enough to have capital or the ability to get capital or you sit it out until you do...LOL   blind leading the blind.. 

Find an agent that will beg you for your business to blindly submit 100's of offers on MLS properties at 50% of the list price.5.

And because this is a public forum with many new investors that tend to follow BP posters almost blindly I think it does a service to point out when statements are made with no foundation to back them up.. and by folks that have another agenda in doing so.

A lot were foreign nationals that didn't know better and blindly listened to the investor clubs.
