I married into the business and carefully brought my husband and in-laws around to getting our business into compliance with the laws for our jurisdiction as well as adopting best practices for this industry. 

I wanted to get a better knowledge of the real estate industry so I could eventually use that knowledge to become a better investor/realtor.I've been told to become active with an investor friendly broker and I think I have found one.

I feel like I have a unique perspective of the industry being a contractor that caters to Investors.

I don't have my own cash yet but I do have drive and my husband has been in the construction sales and building industry our entire marriage.

Take advantage of all the things you can to get started after you study, while you work in the Industry and save up your seed Money.

Again, this is under the assumption that people actually do this - it may be common practice within the industry, in which case it may be acceptable.  

Currently working with individuals in the industry, real estate agent friends, and construction contractors in setting up a LLC, utilizing financing as well as own capital to turn one house a month beginning next year.

The current owner has a single conventional 30 year loan for all 4 so I'm assuming we can do the same but I'm not sure, especially since the mortgage industry has changed so much since the current owner purchased it in 2006.

I don't have any connections in the industry and don't know where to find them.

I am blown away with the real estate investing industry and would love to get started even it it would be helping an experienced investor just to gain some knowledge.
