I'm a 45 y/o female, research professional in my "other life" and have just started doing a notes course.

I am reading everything I can get my hands on, and would like to take the next step of building a support structure of professionals for consultation and mentorship.

The property is sold "As Is" condition and zoning.The application of a professional auction goes far beyong talking fast on the block.

Don't let the latter convince you of how you feel about the former - give it some critical thought as I suspect even the professionals out there will tell you that the profession has its share of monotony and disappointments just like any other career.The way people talk, especially on RE Investing boards unfortunately, they sound like they would do anything for a living if it meant bringing in a lot of money.

I am not a sales men, I just like to expand my portfolio (personally and professionally).

If your end result was too lose 20 pounds, your leverage might be I will die 5 years earlier, I will continue to feel fat, or I wont be able to play sports with my son.5th What has caused me to fail in the past when I have tried to achieve the results that I desire?

My only answer would be the hope for significant appreciation over time by buying in a burgeoning neighborhood adjacent to downtown, where many upper income professionals work.

I came to the work as a grantwriter and program developer and started attending meetings, reading books and learning the business from the perspective of the professional investor.

One of the major benefits is qualifying as a real estate professional and i still havent had a chance to get all the details on that until i speak with someone with a CPA.

I would contact an Investor who has funds and do a JV.It may take a while, but I have done this in the past.DO YOUR HOMEWORK and PRESENT IT LIKE A PROFESSIONAL!!
