I'm 27 and just started as well but you're way ahead of me by getting a real estate license.

Just a heads up - they usually limit the promotional deals to the first $1500 in qualifying purchases.

@Rafie Ahmed  This is a great source but as a heads up make sure you utilize real estate professionals such as a lower and a CPA.  

If she doesn't object and just needs to salvage a bad situation go ahead and get the house under contract as a private sale, then assign the contract as normal in a wholesale transaction.

But just a heads up I went to Philly totally blind and did my research, research, research, talk to locals, drive around all the areas I had in mind as you will see what you like the best. 

Just a heads-up, JR Hinds has arranged a BP meet-and-greet scheduled for July 12.

I see a fixed rate as a safer play but since I don't have to put any additional money out of pocket with my current financing option I'm thinking I should go ahead and stick with it.I could always refinance later on, right?

We are both hustlers and any time I'm not working it bothers me because I know he might be getting ahead.

Read as much as you can about Real Estate Investing, (I have bought the Bigger Pocket books and love them (Un-paid plug here) Listen to the Pod casts from BP, I have down-loaded them and listen to one every day, great Juice for the Mind and really opens your eyes to strategies you can exploreStart simple, by this I mean look around your own town, study whats hot, whats not and whats going to move ahead, by this I mean look for areas close to Down Town that are showing signs of new life, this is a sign that often old and ugly areas are now starting to transform and you can get in on the ground floor and great prices.

I personally like to listen to audiobooks and whenever I get tired of it, I go ahead onto podcasts.
