I play baseball at Central Michigan University, but have an interest in Real Estate!

I would like to find deals in NYC but that might be virtually impossible these days. 

Most of it is often learned in the School of Hard Knocks university...which I prefer not to attend:)

Nearly $150k more than what we paid for it and we put virtually nothing into the property.

It is producing 1300 to 1400, but I haven't had any cap-ex yet, obviously, so I think my figures were just about right.Just last month, I bought a townhouse near the local university campus.  

I am also starting a course in Real Estate at the University of Reading this September. 

If you are looking to tap into the student market, I believe there are better options (than Strawberry Mansion) closer to Temple University.

Considering that we know virtually no one.

Aren't there "crooks" in virtually every business? 

PaulThere are many reputable sites on the internet with a glossary of RE terms, I suggest you not go to guru sites or REI type sites but look to schools, universities, law firms, government agencies and professional associations.
