I have been doing extensive research on wholesaling and would love to get my foot in the door in the real estate game here in Utah.

I wouldn't rely too much on the credit score alone (especially since the other tenant has a good score)The Credit game is largely a scam anyway.....I'll share this story again.

In my practice as a mortgage broker, I meet more new buyers without a game plan for financing than those who do.

Hello, BP communityI'm new to this real estate investing game, and wanted to start investing in Philadelphia where I live.

Second, not all markets are equal, and just because there is a military base does not mean the community has a diverse economic system.

(Yes, a share of stock yields more - but I'd like diversity and some bricks.

I leased up a software professional from Lake Murray (affluent) to City Heights (blue-collar) area - people are going where the rents are lower and we're seeing more socio-economic diversity in the lower-priced/blue-collar area.

You can put it into index funds/ETFs for high diversity with modest returns, or you can learn to value business and pick stocks for greater returns, if you manage to master that skill.
