You can pay for a property a hundred times over and still NOT own it.

If it is straight cost, I suggest a flat fee realtor for a few hundred dollars.If the issue is control of negotiations, flat fee works or find an investor friendly realtor.

there's hundreds of ways to make money in real estate.

Sometimes it is as simple as paying their closing costs which only amount to a few hundred dollars.

Tod,Funny :DBut on a more serious note, we have had a few pols come visit my day job and give a brief speech followed by Q&A session; they don't like the Q's I ask (and I am one of the few in the crowd of several hundred who will actually ask something challenging to put them on the spot) :wink:So the pols don't want me around them.

I heard membership is around $7000 for there gold membership. but if you bought several fridges, stoves, A/C's and such a year and saved several hundred on each i could see it being worth it.. eventually.. curious if anyones a member and peoples thoughts on the company!

Now that 4 years have passed....I have paid over $140,000 in hmortgage payemtns and reduced principal less than $10,000; landscaped for hundreds and hundreds of hours planting/nurturing 96 bushes, hedges and trees; given my 8 year old granddaughter her "own room" as an anchor that she still needs through her parents' turbulent divorce, yet live like a pauper, and work and worry to illness and exhaustion, I just wonder what in the heck I could do to just have a half way decent quality of life, with a home, and some normalcy.

Yep, like I said, you don't base your price on what they owe on one hundred percent of the properties you buy.

Sorry, I had a hundred ideas and was trying to type them all before I forgot.

I have dreamed about doing real estate since I was a teen but never really had anyone show me the ropes so I learned the hard way.Not to broadcast my personal business but I am receiving an inheritance next May for a couple hundred grand and I would like to try again in real estate and succeed.Right now I have 10k I would like to invest with but Im not sure that is enough to get back into real estate now.
