I know this is a unique issue to the note and the individual, so I'll add a few details and see if there are any suggestions as to where I should go from here.To begin, I'm a note rookie, and I accept all the critical feedback that comes with it  : )   I now know that I was under capitalized when pursuing this note.  

It's an amazing resource of information-rich interviews with seasoned investors.

Then by chance, a friend handed me a copy of rich dad poor dad. 

I am hoping to connect with like minded people and individuals who have advice for a new investor.Thanks!

Gives it the rich artsy look with character.

For those of you who don't know Prosper.com is a website where you can get loans from other individuals who invest in increments of $25 at a time.

You can also hear how individuals transitioned into big transaction such as flips and buys n holds. 

After a while I became very dissatisfied with the knowledge that I'd lead a relatively unexciting life, only living off half my pay, only to be rich once I already have one foot into the grave.This was about the time that I read the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book and it really changed the way I looked at investing.

It was confusing to me whether a salesperson's license was sufficient if you managed properties as an individual.

thx for all the info i plan to start doing the drive bys next weekend for now i am looking on GPSat the different areas that the homes are available I'm thinking massapequa because its not to far out from the city and i see a lot of big boats out there so i basically for now because since I'm not to familiar with real estate on long island I'm looking to see which houses have the biggest boats in the back because I'm thinking the more big boats the more rich people and possibly the demand will be higher when i do decide to flip the house... i guess ill pick my houses first and than look into the municipalities that they are located in because i plan to have a list of 5 or 6 homes that i WOULD BUY but just buy the one that is at the best bid because i don't want to do all the homework and get into a biding war over one house so i plan on having a range of options so i don't overpay or walk away empty handed
