Major industries include healthcare, banking, factory/warehouse type jobs.Rents can be as high as 1600 plus in areas of Rocky mount, so you can have the entire spectrum. 

Especially hearing that Arianne was an SPL (which is what I went to school for), and how she deals with being a woman in a male dominated industry such as real estate investing.

I was wondering which books / information sources you would recommend for a starter with zero to little knowledge about this industry.

@Marcus Brown I work in the oil and gas industry as a Landman and would be happy to help you with whatever questions you may have regarding the term of the lease, rights you may have and the rights the oil company has.

My first partner, (who I should have stayed partnered to) Maury Wilder, became one of the industry billionaires long before he died.  

I'm planning on using a typical GMP contract style with industry standard contingencies. 2) If my company is brand new, but I have a backlog of building experience including the scope of work, how would you handle that, being sure to maintain 100% integrity at all times?

@Jacob White  well look at it this way.. if you troll around BP you will see post after postlike thisHey I am brand new I have never done a deal so I am going to start out wholesaling.this leads folks with their only education reading posts on BP which some are good some are bunk.and they simply don't know what they are doing... and they foul up sellers... big time. they deceive sellers big time... and then complaints are filed.. and the state takes actionvirtually every state has the same laws on the books some enforce it others don'tIf there was no need for a license in real estate to bring two parties together and then make a feethen there would be no need for a real estate industry at all....

IE by reputation in the industry as one who can actually fund... wholesalers to me are dime a dozen. 

"Agents" like this are what give our industry a bad rap.

A better use would be to take profits you make in the industry and re invest it in your business.
