I have been exploring the idea of real estate investment for about a year.

When I say born again, I am one of the guys who took a hit in 2009 and has struggled to recover and regain my confidence (and finances) to be able to get back in the game.After hearing a few Bigger Pockets blogs and attending some local events, I am on fire, ready to explore real estate investing from all angles, including: buy and hold, flips, and wholesaling.  

I look forward to exploring this site.

You may want to start exploring the "Education" tab up there as that helps alot!

Sadly, my bank wants 1 year of seasoning so I was going to explore some other avenues.

Maybe explore different areas as well.Last tip, if the TK isn't diligent enough to include vacancies, TAXES, or property management they are either shady or do not have enough experience in the field and you should definitely pass. 

There are still some in Palm Springs that do not allow rentals like this.Happy searching and if you are ever interested in exploring professional property management options while you are away, feel free to direct message me or give me a ring.

REIA meetings, property auctions, and BP searches are some other avenues to explore. 

It's a very messy deal, but sounds like it will be the most fun to explore : )  Currently I am trying to gather all of his legal documents (cell tower lease, rental agreements, etc.) so that I can meet with investors to come up with an offer price.While I can't say I am happy with the results thus far, I am waiting until the full 6-month campaign finishes up before I make any firm judgements as to the success or failure of the mailings.  

So I was curious in exploring what, if any, options are available.
