For the time being, I am seeking to learn more and get involved with BP as well as my local REI Club.

I didn't have to look for properties, deals came to me, however there were times I'd seek out certain properties.

My family have at least 700k that is in U.S bank at the interest rate of 1%.This says that I do have a really nice background for investors who actively seek for money.

I would suggest you seek out local Real Estate Investment Groups and attend some of their meetings to get a feel for the local area.

My job is very rewarding, but it doesn't provide the life I want to be able to give my family, so my wife and I started our company, Syra Concepts, LLC.Our primary goal, in general, is to build our business to a point where I do NOT have to reenlist or seek other employment after my current enlistment contract is done in 4.5 years.

This thread took a wild turn...I find some of the sellers I speak with almost have a sense of relief when they hear I am not an agent looking for a listing.

I have to process them just as any other tenant.In my case, I did not have to find out what their references were like, as they were looking for a May 1 move-in date and I am seeking April 1.

This is why setting higher limits is important, it keeps the insurance company in the game to the end.So your coverage should begin with your agent, your attorney can answer the quick question as well, seek advice from both.

My ideal buyer will be someone that has lived all of their working life in the US and are now seeking a retirement home (I do post on craglist in different states to attempt to attract this market) Most RE investors are buying distressed properties near vacation spots at 30% to 60% below market value...

I find my passion in people who have stepped outside the comfort zone and social norm to truly experience their dreams, and ultimately, make them realities.With any luck the mentors, professionals - doers - that I seek are here and I look forward to building relationships with as many of you as are interested.Always remember 'You succeed when you help others achieve their dreams.'
