So I'm looking to get started in real estate investing and I came across this group.i was wondering if anyone knew anything bout them and what they had to say.Seemed to me that no one who was involved with this group was really willing to let me be a part of anything until I paid for the expensive program they were offering.

If the approximate $140k is seller financing, are the terms of such agreement made in the real estate contract? 

Real Estate Taxes- When you close on a property you will be responsible for the real estate taxes for the remainder of the year.

@Krishna SurendraRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

What about speaking to a local, investor-focus, experienced real estate agent?

They don't even use a real CRM they want us doing everything manually via excel.

If you don't have any trustworthy boots on the ground and you're an out of state investor you can easily get taken advantage of by contractors, real estate agents, wholesellers, etc.I would be happy to assist and connect you with our brokerage if you're interested.

Is this the norm in real estate?

Is anyone aware of a real estate investing club or meetup happening near Oneonta?

And truth and reality have absolutely no room in their world
