Greetings all,New to the real estate game, I hit the ground running and received my real estate license in November of 2013 and I'm feeling dangerous!

So for all of those who were in this boat or have taking apprentices in this boat as a mentor, what were your secrets to getting past this phase to gain some experience under your belt?

And turning that cash into funds that I can leverage for short term lending and JV partnerships along with ground up construction which is red hot in many markets.Bruce Norris was the master at this he sold out of CA in 06 and bought Texas now he did not really like his Texas experience and sold to just break even a few years ago but he preserved his CA equity..

FYI, I am in the education phase and scouting around resources.Below is the link to the DC area group.http://tractionreia.com/

Write down a list of questions and talking points that outline your goals and be open and honest with the brokers during the interview phase.

I would love to have a contact on the ground in Austin and would be happy to be yours in columbus. 

Most of your problem looks like the posts were not properly set in the ground. 

I'd agree with @Mike D'Arrigo those prices seem near or at retail and probably won't cash flow very well.Do you already have a PM & team on the ground?

Welcome @Anthony He Milwaukee can be a great place to invest, but I would advise that you do your research and put some boots on the ground.

Please make sure you read books, blogs and listen to a few good podcasts here on BP and other research on probate before you hit the ground running.
