Also, a good reliable team of contractors is needed to quote you for possible expenses.

I look forward to meeting as many investors as possible in one life time.Lawrence

Right now I am really just trying to gain as much information as possible.

I'm interested in real estate investing as a future career, hoping to start out by buying a rental property or possibly a duplex, and will be getting my RE license in the near future.  

So let's say you're under 18, you have an LLC, is it possible to purchase a propert under the LLC even though you are a minor?

I'm not setting out to help this guy out in every way possible.

It is totally possible that someone finally gave a decent offer on it that the Bank accepted ... but at $200K for a Homepath property the numbers don't add up unless it goes down to $180K.I hear that Banks still consider offers even when properties get under contract, is that true?

Try to live for free (Possibly make money while you live there) Remember, play defense with your money or you might always find yourself in the same position of debt.If you can convince someone with private money to partner on a deal, great for you.

i try to get close to BLVD east as much as possible.
