I like creative RE investing and am looking to network in Las Vegas, Phoneix, Chicago, Florida, Wisconsin and Southern California.I bought my first property when I was 18 and never stopped.

Zonning changes can be a bear to impossible, it's political, and it is very time consuming and can be very expensive.

The Dark Side is tempting me, so bear with me Mike :cool: Ok, my initial goal is to teach on wholesaling, which forgive me if I already sound too guruish, but you do NOT need much money or credit to get paid.

Bear with me; I'm just an Aussie trying to get a handle on some quirks of the US property market, which is much more complex than our property market in Australia, with many more techniques.

Taz, while I agree that that would be a hinder on our rights to bear arms and even remove are ability to take a knive to Colorado for a camping trip, it has no bearing on my ability to do business which is far more important to me.That said, I agree US citizens should be up in arms about ALL of this crap attempting to be forced upon us.

Same goes for Chicago.

It might help to keep in mind a simple fact: Mathematically, paying down a loan which bears interest at X% is identical, in terms of net economic value, to investing that same amount at X%.Putting it another way, if you have Y dollars available to employ somewhere, just think of 'loan paydowns' as one more investment possibility, among your other options.Suppose, for example, you could either use your discretionary Y dollars to pay down a 6% loan, or could instead deploy the Y dollars into an 8% investment.

Bear in mind, some of them get sold before they even get listed due to those investors who have access to some REO asset managers.

Another red flag, he claimed to own property all over the world, including an interest in the Sears Tower in Chicago.)

LOL Maybe one similar to the Bridge Tavern or Cripple Bear Inn might blend in along the canal.
