Educate yourself, be realistic, start small, see if you like it, follow your passion, don't focus on the money, set realistic goals.

More than ANY other real estate educator, John has provided me more great ideas and profit-making niches than anyone else, by far!

Even forclosures are expensive in Web. so your equity amount on start up is low (I bought thru HUD, had 10% equity after closing and still had 3K in repairs w/ me as the contractor but I was looking at a long term investment and had not started my business education).  

Hey everyone,If one does not form an LLC and still invests in RE continually under their own name can they still write off travel, hotel stays, meals, educational material, seminar attendance costs, purchase of a car, gasoline (fuel), mileage, car repair, parking, office supplies and office equipment, etc.?

Okay so podcasts books webinars these are all well and good but hands on experience is probably the best way for me to get an education.

Many hours were wasted on a sales pitch to entice into continued education that cost $41,297 for Diamond Enrollment, $26,297 for Platinum Enrollment, and $21,297 for Gold enrollment".The upshot is, you DON'T need to spend thousands on discovering so-called secrets of real estate success (before you even find a deal)!

A lot of great education, networking and opportunities on here to choose from.

I certainly could use the time to further educate myself!

We tend to get very focused on our own niche (which is good), but it is always educational to see how other people are investing.
