Currently I have been educating myself with some of the real estate books that were recommended on the podcasts.  

in some areas home prices peaked in the 80s and 90s  think Rochester NY for example or Buffalo.. in some areas real estate seems to make new highs then 10 years later it makes new highs again  think SF bay area , at the end of the day building materials are up land prices even being zero  it cost more to build a home than you can buy an existing one in a huge swath of America so until that changes.. who knows.then in the areas that are slowing but surely turning into rental dominated markets  ( we know which ones those are ) those values will really only move if rents move or investor accept a much smaller return that what they want today which is basically 6 to 10% COC with 20 to 30% down.. 

I know there is a lot of risk there, especially today when banks are getting tighter.

I realize from your posts that the use of Class C was misplaced.As per the recommendation, I will run the IRR on the investment but wanted to know if there was a back of the envelope/rule-based approach to evaluating the feasibility of the construction.Thank you again for the education and your feedback,RegardsMo

Banks also tell me I'd be a bad investment if I were to get a non-legal job in Florida to supplement my income while growing my new firm, since I'd be working far beneath my education level. 

I am in the process of researching and educating myself on rentals. 

If my math is correct we had till Aug 26 and or Oct 1 (if we did not count weekends) The owner sold the home for Half of the price and the new Owner showed up today 7/17 telling me i had to move by THIS SUNDAY ...I have invested alot of heart and soul in cleansing the home inside and out and have made this our family home .

Hard to believe that people are still living like this, especially here in my own home state.First Video That Got It All StartedAfter watching that video some friends got to talking and my buddy went down to look at the job site today.

Is there fast and efficient any way for me to educate myself? 

Hello fellow investors,I am in the beginning stages and I'm starting with education.
