He called me wondering if I knew anyone specializing in sound investments.I've been learning about real estate investing these last 3 months myself, I consider myself very green, yet I'm not sure what to offer him.

I guess now I'm wondering when is the right time to do it and if so how much to try to refi for.  

Thanks for this question because I was wondering the same thing!

with increased prices causing lower cap rates etc I am wondering what there formula is for buying properties in the current market?

I know I'm not alone, so I'm going to ask:Since there are so many opportunities out there (foreclosures, probate deals, raw land, etc), I'm wondering "where could I start?"

But after reading another post on here about smells emanating from the crawl space.I am wondering now is it more than just smokers smell.It doesent smell like moisture. but I can now tell it is coming from an area between the kitchen and the living room there is a boiler there with a leak. the catch pan is full so most likely the boiler was leaking into the crawl space.as the catch pan over flows.However when I open the door to where the boiler is there is absolutely no smell in there.

For the last 15 years I have inspected homes owned by investors wondering everyday why I am not investing myself.

I'm wondering the following:1) Can my end buyer funds be used to close on A&B part also;2) Since HUD property can not be assigned, and double closing is necessary is there a time period before re-sell to end buyer.3) The electric is off at property, so is it necessary to have electric turned on for end buyer to have their inspection, or should I stipulate that property is sold as is and property electric will not be turned on for this inspection, but only when the property is sold to buyer (end buyer made offer before inspection of property)4) Any feedback would be helpful.

:) I'm also a new comer from the burgh, we're neighbor (live in Churchill).still educating myself as well, and start to wonder if I should pursue some classes.. been only reading lots of materials online and offline.hats off for the brand new career!
