My name is Chris, I'm currently a 23-year-old college student in Los Angeles, California, studying Visual Effects for the entertainment industry (i.e., special effects for movies -- y'know, blowing stuff up).

hello there I am a high school graduate ready to start college classes and recently the world of real estate investing has crossed through my journey to adult hood and I'm very interested in investing in real estate and learning more about it and how it can benefit me and my future.

If it is a college area then they might like the 4 bed options spread among roommates.

To make the most knowledgeable investment decision practice what is taught in the Toyota Way - genchi genbutsu, which means "go and see."

Well again, most of these issues would be resolved by working under a seasoned real estate professional that could teach them the ropes and could steer them along the straight and narrow.My recommendation is for you to go ahead and get your license for the basic knowledge and the credentials to legally do your business, then find an investor that is buying for themselves and succeeding in this business and volunteer your services for strictly for the education.For more of this soapbox speech and practical tips on how you can actually find that person, here is another link!!

They're also being investigated currently by the SEC for their advertising practices.

I lived in the 5th ward for two years after college as it was affordable...my truck was vandalized every six months, and I was in the nice south of I-10 area.I own several rentals in the Houston and larger metro area now - none are in the 5th ward.

I graduated from college with a business degree that emphasized real estate.  

I was also in banking right out of college.

No where did I ask for this and more importantly I am being charged for this letter in the summary of charges they provide (25 dollars).Is this common practice?
