I plan on joining a real estate mentoring club once I return to my hometown, and continue to prepare myself as much as possible over the coming months.Some general questions that I have:1) What are some things I could do to prepare myself in order to hit the ground running?

Most of the homes need work, that you know low income buyers will not have the funds to perform..The result is the homes continue to go down hill, and continue to drag down the neighborhood.It's a viscous cycle funded by tax dollars.

Many are not looking to sell right now, and some want 5 cap numbers on their properties, but every time I make a contact I always ask them to allow me to continue to market to them.

Then it has verbiage saying it continues month to month after is ends.

I own 4 units and would like to continue to grow, however I have run into personal issues that prevent me from investing more money.

I have already closed on the property and have been using this thread for continuing questions for people that have helped so far.Maybe I will start a new thread for this repairs question (how easy is it to get the tenant to pay for a repair they want that is above normal wear and tear?)

Compare that statement to some others in the industry: "We believe that responsive technical support is a requirement for our continued growth."

Stay focused, continue your education always, and keep plugging away.For rehab flips, don't look at conventional bank loans.

Most of the valley has been experiencing sale price increases since spring 2012 due to inventory shortages and continued strong demand.

Hey Lamar Cannon I can imagine the Austin market performing nicely especially with UT continuously growing.
