I'm new to the real estate investing game, and would like to find out how other people have built their teams.

The tenants are use to it and the playing field is somewhat level as my apartment is comparable to the one down the street (as per the rent and what is included). *** If no government or utility can lien on your property when the water bill is not paid, then disregard this entire opinion post (except for the very first line).

too funny...i played hockey at umd, not in the 70's though...it was probably the football team...hehe

What doesn't come into play here, is how desirable the location is.

In the mean time i also been reading money management books, Real estate audio and books from Robert Kiyosaki and Dolf roos also playing a lot of monopoly and cash flow 101 8).Is there any advice you would recommend to better prepare me ?

Hey guys,I'm new to the game and in need of a mentor, very interested in networking and connecting with anyone in the general area who is investing.

Bank counters your 90 offer at 105K the game just begins.

I agree 100% if your totally new to the game and any loss what so ever would wife you out."

I know its hard work and I'm willing to learn, even if I could work along side of someone and let them make the profit just so I can learn the game Hands On.

Others would rather work hard (for example, undertaking a difficult apartment building "value play") and shoot for a 40% annual return (which wouldn't be unreasonable).
