You might try reading through some of the posts in the wholesaling forum, as well as the articles under the wholesaling category.

As I'm typing I'm guessing managing a property, making decisions about private loans or spending your time make selections of what mutual funds or stocks to buy could possibly all fall in the same category, so maybe all of that is okay?

If Austin or Cali's real estate markets appreciate that is a bonus for my style of investing.

Or you can consider how many houses you have to buy (if you are an investor) because that is an automatic 3% back for closing costs, renovations, etc that would be going to somebody else if you did not have a license (this was the primary reason I even got my license, so any of the deals I have closed representing others have all been a bonus).My brother is a pilot and I am recommending he get his license to take advantage of his down time.

For me I discovered it was best for me to stick with a couple of categories and concentrate on them.

You had the ability with incentives and bonuses to make $100k a year, would you pickup and move?

I was curious as to how much investors, who are in the metro and surrounding areas, have netted for SFR flipped homes that are in the 150k or less category in 2012?

There are things like the current amortization thread that are certainly real estate related and people are missing because it does not fit nicely in one of the enumerated categories.

Other than the age/sex/religion/family status/source of income/disability (and whatever other protected categories are out there), you can refuse to rent to people for any reason you want.

I usually avoid any thread that falls under the “wholesaling” category because it always seems like a bunch of nonsensical posts from wannabe “investors” who have never done a deal.
