I have attended a live auction in Seminole county a few years ago to see what it was about and now Orange County does theirs online.

William Collins,I'm a member of http://www.ctreia.com/The next meeting is April 8th, 2013.I attend the meeting to network, network, network!!!

No one attends a closing in CA.

The real money in Lease-Options is in devising variations of the basic option to purchase, teaching, mentoring and selling the programs as you saw at the seminar you attended.

The act of attending meetings and networking with people will really help you in finding someone who would be willing to help and/or mentor with you.

Right now I see myself pursuing a strategy of primarily seeking rental cash flow which I will support/supplement with a few flipping deals annually.I'm planning on attending my first REIA meeting next Saturday and am really excited at the prospect of being around fellow real estate investors.Like most new investors I would love to find somebody I can help help me as a mentor.

I wouldn't normally mention something like this or even attend but several local member from BP will be there.

I currently attend university full-time in PA and reside in Central NJ.

I should be so much further along in life than I am now, I've had a low 6 figure paying job in IT since I was 20' and up until last year, didn't utilize my checking account and was basically living pay check to pay check, with nothing to show for it now but being in debt with a couple cars and a bunch of useless things I do not need.I decided for my 25th birthday in a couple months, i want to start building wealth, i want to be able to by my 26th birthday have one or 2 properties that i've either bought to hold, or flipped... havent decided which is better for me yet, I'm still doing research but I am giving myself an action date of my birthday in a couple months so I'm not struck with analysis paralysis and time to save some money.I plan on attending the next meetings for all of the Maryland/DC area REIC meetings, and being active on forums, but will try not to be annoying and ask a bunch of questions instead of using the search function...I know how annoying that is hahaHope to get to know and work with a lot of you

Room and board at the college is $8,000/school year.Question: given the need to pay for room for (my) student attending college or purchase of trailer, how do I tell at what point one option is financially better than the other?
