Getting that link out there where homeowners are searching is HUGE.However, I contend you can not give up on the face to face.

My real estate interests are in wholesaling initially, with future plans to own rentals of various kinds.QUESTION:I want to learn hands-on, and face-to-face, with experienced investors who are already doing what I'm doing.

There will be times that someone who barely uses credit, but pays it off in full any month when they do, but also has a modest FICO because of the lack of credit usage and lack of paying interest (SURPRISE!

My first set of tenants put in new carpeting in the basement that just had a bare floor prior.

The challenges we all face provide learning opportunities so you don't repeat them.  

Bad News.....now I'm facing some pretty steep tax payments as these are considered regular income.I'm wondering what seasoned pros are doing to shelter profits made from fix & flips? 

It looks, at face value, that you're paying them for you to bird dog for them. 

Politicians will get involved if there is face time and votes involved.

That being said, liens can often be negotiated for much less than face value and the bank may accept a Short Sale.

So we bought the house at face value then had all these renovations done.
