@Frank Wolter I have seen multiple people on here talk about managing bank owned properties?

@Sandy G. you should implement multiple strategies, some of which have been suggested here. 1) reaching out to brokers2) networking with local RE investors3) you can do direct mailing - either buy a list from listsource or similar OR build yourself by navigating through http://tax1.co.monmouth.nj.us/cgi-bin/prc6.cgi?

Hello everyone fairly new to real estate looking in multiple states  NY,NJ,VA,PA, hoping to make a deal within a year.

I own multiple business using a series LLC for my real eatate business, an LLC field as an S Corp from another business and I have one from a prior business just as a regular LLC (I really should close this one but it costs nothing in our state to keep it open other than the time filing the annual paperwork).

I am wondering if anyone has any insights on how I might get involved with real estate while still studying in school.

Get involved in the local community, pass out cards, tell everyone you meet that you are in real estate and ready to help them or anyone they know.

We even plan on having our wives involved increasing the number even more.

Perhaps substance use is involved?

It allows you to diversify into a portfolio of homes as opposed to putting all of your proverbial eggs in one basket.Be cautious tho as over the years I have witnessed countless investors buying properties in crappy areas, for more than they are worth and being passed on to crappy property management that nickel and dimes them to death (I guess all of those 15% "awesome" paper cap rates and promises of financial freedom aren't that awesome after all...)This is not just true for real estate deals but life in general (Your "piece of paper" degree does't necessarily dictate success in your chosen profession or your business)Real life experience is different to what any "piece of paper" says.In all reality guys it takes time to build financial freedom, and the more you can diversify your risk across multiple properties in your portfolio the less risk you bear in the long run.I may not be the smartest Aussie you have ever met, however I do understand a few basic rules that I follow on every acquisition I make.Strength in numbers, cash only, patience, and discipline.Let's talk about Strength first.Price point plays a big part of "strength in numbers" as it is safer to acquire 5 homes for a total of $350,000 as opposed to one for $350,000.What happens if "that one" property goes untenanted for 5 months?

I really liked getting multIple original designs to choose from, but it wasn’t exactly inexpensive.
