This might be a dumb question - but here goes: In my search for my first investment property, every realtor I speak to has the same question - how much am I going to put down?

go to Amazon.com or bn.com and type real estate investing in the search area.

I have a question - who signs the sales contract Seller(As owner or As TRUST) and if I understood correctly, if the document is not record for title search purposes...explain how the chain of title will readSeller to TrustTrust to Buyer ????

I LOVE everything about real estate including searching, buying, rehabing, marketing, etc. and I would like to enter into it full time in the next 2-3 years.

Im in search of any information involving real estate that will help me broaden my knowledge.

I have been searching forums and websites trying to locate groups or information that pertain to my future investment areas.

Do a search on this board for that user name and you are sure to find him (if he doesn't find you first).Good luckJim Watkinswww.dfwmentor.com

You had mentioned I need to get a title search.

SouthernCalREI, SEO refers to Search Engine Optimization, a process that is used to optimize your website in order to have it rank very high in search engine results.

Getting on ebay and doing relentless searches of what the suscessful people are marketing and how they do it would be a good start.
