I once worked for Elco Industries as a Header Operator running 4 hypro headers, making screws.

hiya,let me introduce myself. i am a 21 year old enthusiastic investor from toronto, ontario. i have been involved in the purchase of three properties this year ranging from multiplexes to houses with acreage. this limited experience of actually getting proactive and getting started has taught me way more than any book has ever taught me. a tip to other beginners. i have also had some background knowledge in the real estate industry with my parents starting out a real estate rental business 10 years ago. however their knowledge is quite elementary and i have a lot to learn. fortunately i have found this site. and while browsing for the past couple days i have found that there are many invaluable resources and brilliant minds aboard.ps. slthough i have found the canadian content lacking i am confident that with our similar laws the ideas are all valid.looking forward to meeting you,joe

After a while of being on top of your game you should build a "customer base" of investors that will begin to trust your information, judgemnet on a proerty and you will be able to move more deals.

Realtors on both end want to see some skin in the game, thus earnest money deposit.

If the bank feels that neither party (builder or investor) has enough skin in the game, they will tend to require that at least one party puts down cash.

I am fairly new at the the whole investing game but the owner of the development firm took me under their wing and decided to walk me through the process.

I am in the sub prime industry for 3 years now.

That brings me here, and I am very excited to be here.I have a career in the business products industry, working for a wonderful company.

New to the whole real estate game.

Im talking more about commercial and industrial end of RE, im not sure how you would do this for res.
