The seminar, which held in my home state of New Jersey, introduced me to the concepts of REI Investing through the purchase of tax liens and deeds.

For me, it comes down to this one simple concept - it's your money, you're the one investing, you should be as knowledgeable and resourceful as possible.

I like the concept if the list, but a simple bullet point list would come off as less intimidating and lawyerly.  

This is a wonderful concept to grasp prior to dive right in.

Worked with Colleen Snyder who helped me with some concepts and introduced me to some great professionals including Amy Bell who did an awesome job getting my loan to the right channels.

@Edwin CamposI read two books:HOLD and the WSJ Guide to Real Estate InvestingI learned a lot of basic concepts in those books that I later applied in buying my first single family home.

You can still pay a low down payment amount, but you are able to get rid of the PMI (same concept, different acronym) once you pay down 20% of your loan.

you will have some confusion and some burden of educating people who do not understand the concept but, trust me, it’s worth it.i use craigslist, apartments.com and zillow. the person who said zillow doesn’t post room rentals is sort of correct. i actually just posted an ad there yesterday. the zillow platform, when you’re making an ad actually asks if it’s a room rental and you can check a box. once you post the ad, you’ll get an email saying zillow doesn’t allow room rentals but they went ahead and posted it on trulia and another one of their sites that they control. thus, it’s still worth it.let me know how else i can help.

The coliving concept is growing.

@Sarah Mcdermott There is a concept in real estate law that the other party needs to communicate to you that they have counter-signed.
