@Jerry WeberWelcome to the vibrant BP community, where you will find like minded individuals committed to REI and also helping others succeed.Your time on this social media site will be well spent.You have taken the 1st step by announcing your readiness and commitment to embark on a REI career.Whether you pursue, wholesale, flips or buy and hold it's up to you to decide.Below, are some links for three of the most popular niches from which your can review and pick one or all.My take on your preparation to embark on REI is that you simultaneously educate yourself and work on getting your debts down to size.

I would like to flip homes, and eventually have a handful of free and clear, buy and holds that generate $1000-1500/mo each.In 2001 I ordered a Real Estate Agent course online that was going to prepare me for the state test but at that time in my life I wasn't as dedicated as I should have been, so I never finished the course work.

As well the best study guides/booklets that can also help prepare me for the exams.

But, you better be prepared to do a LOT of work to screen these "investors," screen their deals and then oversee their projects to ensure that your investments are protected.Like I said earlier in the thread, your better bet is to just add more deals to your own pipeline if access to deals isn't a problem for you. 

This is to help those potentially looking for loans now or in the near future so that they are prepared.

Prior to our arrival, you would assist in preparation of our arrival and possibly help to get done one or two things prior to my arrival.All you need is to initiate the process that will enable me to transfer the funds that will be required as soon as we have finalized and agreed to the terms of business.

I'm meeting with the condo owner this morning and want to be fully prepared to make the right decision.

I find that my better tenants are typically the ones who were looking for an apartment 2-3 months or more in advance.If you advertise now, just be sure that it is clear when the move in date is, and be prepared for people who won't read the ad and expect to move in immediately.  

Most all lenders will require some "skin in the game" or a downpayment.Down Payment: I've seen as low as 10%, 20% is more common, and 30% is a safe number to prepare for.
