Hello,My name is Serena Joyce and I'm clueless about real estate investing; but have a strong desire to learn everything there is to know about it.

I charge a 5% markup on contractor services... and it's a deal for my clients.

We tell our investor clients this all the time.

I think the market is going to continue to be strong. 

Hello,I purchased a rental property near the new dome downtown Atl and got really lucky in terms of purchasing on a nice street with a strong neighborhood association.

While I specialize in selling renovated turn key properties to investor clients we are still doing quite a bit of wholesaling as well!

I am a realtor out in the Escondido area of California and just had to have a client replace their duct work for the same reason.

What Bob said above is what most of our clients do through us.And while the desired income level varies, the goal we map out seems to be 5-7 years typically until they've met it.We have a dentist in CO we're working with to map out an aggressive 5 year strategy (starting with more liquid cash) and jumping into a few 4 unit buildings as well as SFR.  

Yes, Charlotte is strong, and continues to grow.

I've just recently ran into a situation where an insurance company did an inspection and found my client to have a Federal Pacific Stab lok and they chose to come off risk.
