You plumber can normally tell you what the cause was.I'd consult your RE Attorney to be certain, though.

IF U want 2 go on the safe side...talk 2 the private lenders...U're funding at that point flippers/other investors/re-habbers & they're paying YOU 10-18% 4 the use of Your money...while YOU hold the 1st mortgage against the property they're prepping 2 sell 2 pay You back;It's both an excellent investment (always < 80% Loan to Value{LTV}& the most secure place U could ever put Your $$?

I'm afraid if I pass the R/E exam, brokers will start calling me to work for them.

Oh, one little secret, I found a company that offers some FREE real estate investing classes, there I have learned everything from how to work and handle loans, to the process of selling/buying RE properties, all for FREE.

I'm just digging up some old posts here and trying to re-ignite things a bit.

I am in the UK, but would ove to visit Vegas one day, maybe if all my hard work pays off in RE then I may just do it :D

People are re-learning the art of growing efficiently on smaller parcels with nature, not against it.I believe these are the types of farms that generate the most interest for "agri-tourism".

Not to pick on my own profession as an RE Agent but taking the real estate course, which is a great introduction to the subject, will only get you to undertsand how to sell or buy for others...not neccessarily for yourself.And by all means...ask as many questions as people have the interest in answering :wink:

I have been doing some reading on RE investments and have decided on several areas of which I would like to concentrate on in RE investment:1) preforeclosures2) court house auctions3) REOsHowever, I have so far found that preforeclosures were already jumped by others and owners do not want to talk.

I know how confusing, tiring, and STRESSFUL it is to start in real estate, especially investing in RE.
