I think the following ad, run in a London newspaper in search of an arctic exploration team about sums up what any entrepreneur should consider before taking the leap:MEN WANTED: FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY.

I have access to the MLS system in my town because my sister works as a secretary for an appraiser, and i was wondering if anyone could teach me how to do comps?

I am 18 years old and Fresh out of highschool exploring the world of real estate.

In a very ugly town. i bought 2 duplexes for around $57,000. each unit rents out for an average of $350 plus or minus $25-$50. high taxes and insurance but they still turn a profit. plus i could sell each home for $35,000.

Now it is trailing prices in towns like Vail, Beaver Creek, even New York real estate can make Aspen properties look inexpensive.

Join your local REIC.Real estate investment club, see what other people around you are doing, and it what areas they are doing it.Flipping may be good in one town and not good in another.

I hooked up with him at an REI club meeting and used him for about 15 years.I live in a town that's pretty small (we got a HD 3 years ago), but obviously we're large enough to have a "contractors supply" (side road location, not generally interested in doing business with the public) and a "lumber yard" (busy highway location-definitely interested in everyone's business).

This town is crawling with them, yet none of them are worth a darn.

Maybe you can just find some web sites that let you list land online, or just put them on ebay and see what happens .. you can also create signs around town that say "land for sale" .. with a number and directions, maybe an address ... post in forums, and local bulletin boards around town ..
