I joined BP to gain some knowledge & understanding from the articles & all the experts already in the industry.

I was reading this morning and article about 1 in 5 houses have no equity.HousingWire - 1 in 5 Home Owners DrowningIn my opinion, there are few GOOD options for the Home Seller.Options1.

Good article, thank you @Matt Devincenzo for pointing it out!

I have read articles, books, watched videos about Investing and now I'm a little overwhelmed.

I knew at some point I'd invest in real estate, and made a hobby of watching the local market, and reading all the articles in the paper about it.I was 35 before I was in the position to really commit to my first rental purchase - we had the money, the skills, and time commitment that we felt we needed to take the plunge.

My internet and BP searches aren't turning up anything that covers this specific dilemma.

I wrote a wholesaling article that will be beneficial if you decide to do it:http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/4430/blog_posts/32194-attention-wholesalers-2-ways-to-stand-out-from-your-competition

Check out this EPIC article on REG A+ vs REG D vs crowdfunding http://www.pepperlaw.com/publications_update.aspx?

I would suggest you read appropriate articles from the learn section as well as watch the podcasts it will assist you in making the right choices.

Our next step is to hook it up to the internet to control it from wherever we are.
