I would do fix and flips once I have money backed investors on my team but I just don't have that at this time.

Plus learn about other aspects of real estate - flips, wholesaling, working in teams, etc. 

@Jacob Kushnergetting a team together is the most important deals can be found (and sometimes created) anywhere having a team you can trust to pull it together is the most important part

Find parks in your area, forget those parks, they are 98% over priced, contact those brokers and develop a relationship.You will need a credible team, proof of funds for the down, or a cash partner who has the down funds.We did the above for 1.5 yrs post Frank and Dave's boot camp.  

Developing a trusted team is probably the most important step.

hey all,where is the best forum to find key team members?

But, if you dont have a homogenous portfolio, ie a 1 million dollar commercial building vs 3-50k SFRs, you may want to have stronger protection or separate LLCs because of the unique exposure differences as well as asset loss potentials.  

Team up with a flipper who REALLY knows what they are doing.

@Kenneth Jackson,About the only option you have is to learn how to team up with money partners, whether that's private lenders, other investors or hard-money.Read up on self-directed retirement accounts and how folks can use them to take more active control of their earnings on their retirement savings.When you can show folks how you can get them 12% to 20% return on their money versus the beating their savings has taken on Wall Street - 50% to 90% losses, you'll soon have more money available than you can find deals to do.There was a post in another thread about the biggest mistakes newbies make.

you beat me to the punch about Ocwen.Back in the day when things turned I was going to set up a short sale division in my Re company... so I thought I would do a few myself so I knew and understood how they worked then turn them over to my team.. well first one I try is with Ocwen it was such a pain I just completely gave up on the idea..
