The folks in the local REIAs are more likely to have this kind of knowledge for you.

Don't get me wrong though, some of the small seminars will be very helpful especially if you no knowledge at all of investing.Than Merrrill is in town the next couple weeks, or his lackies are maybe, but anyways, this 3 hour seminar will still give some decent info while they try to sell you the 3 day seminar.Even the 3 day seminar for a few hundred dollars can be helpful.

As you have already witnessed, some great people on this forum with a wealth of insight and knowledge.

They advise their client based on market knowledge and local expertise.

It sounds like you already have a great deal of knowledge and experience, but I'm sure BP will give you even more.

At this point in time I, I have the extra income to likely buy 1 new investment property each year but that could change to about 2 per year once student loans and personal mortgage are paid off, I'm making VERY VERY aggressive payments on both because I'd rather not worry about the payments and I'd like to have the extra disposable income to make more money with (I know that I could use the money for investing but I am not a fan of personal debt, so this is the decision I made).

Not too long ago I started reading about the HUD investing strategy, but I do not yet feel confident in my knowledge to start going down that path.I do not have a great source of funds, but I did think about the possibility using my buyers' funds to purchase the homes and then assign the deed to the buyers that lended the money.

HML may lend 65%, but a real preapproval from them, in time, may be an issue.

Do not forget about accountant, knowledgable agent, and I suggest you present deals on BP before you finalize anything especially if this is your first time.

The knowledge you will gain here will help you more than you can imagine!
