Since I am fairly new and will not be able to contribute much in regards to real estate, I have vast experience in software development, implementation, analysis and management if the need ever arises.  

I am a realtor licensed in Pa and Md. How would you go about forming a group of Investors to buy investment properties.

It's great to hear everyone's stories and I am excited to contribute!

It's still not working I am not defeated though, so please share if you can contribute.  

While yes, it's based on your percent of ownership, what about brand new owners that haven't contributed as much as those that purchased in 2010?

I'm looking forward to contributing and sharing my own experiences!  

From walking up the walk walk to the door, to clean and sparkling appliances and a clean smell all contribute to a favorable impression.  

This would allow you to get started investing in properties to flip, buy and hold, tax deeds or even allow you to contribute to a fund like Realty Shares where you can be a passive investor and earn better returns than you're probably getting in your 401k right now.

I myself instead of contributing to the "rent" want to instead put money strictly into the principal to get it down as much as I can as fast as I can.

I look forward to learning with you and contributing however I can.
