Lots of major improvements in the city, AAA baseball might be moving in, developers flipping entire neighborhoods I wouldn't have walked down last year.  

I can live with that for this first one in 10 years to get me back in the game.

While I don't believe tech will be the end to residential realtors, I do think that whatever you do, it would be wise to adopt and learn new relevant RE technologies along the way to stay ahead of the game. 

Hey wanted to connect with anyone in the Chicago land area who may be interested in buying a house that needs full gut rrehab on a rather larger lot. This is located in Midway area of Chicago. Looking for feedback and...

Account Closed I'm pretty active in the Nashville area and I run a turnkey ship down here.I can find deals, develop the property, renovate the property, put management in place, etcI will shoot you a direct message so we can connect.

My next steps (that I've identified), is to start writing down goals (we've discussed them, just haven't written them down), develop a business plan, and figure out if I need to start a business for this venture now (and what structure that will be - we will not be taking on partners initially, I think, so it's just me and my husband, so SMLLC?)

Cool to hear from other young guys trying to get started in this game!

Extremely interested in real estate investing and the "architect as developer" form of practice (check out what Jonathan Segal is doing www.jonathansegalarchitect.com/ ) @Jared W Smith, I have the same question as Jonathan... how are our unique skillsets applicable in this space?

Our setup has us splitting losses 50-50 as added insurance to the investor and as a way to show i have skin in the game. 

Brand new to the real estate investing game.
