@Jennifer Annen Great point, even when if when you have the ability and or confidence to do your own it's worth the money to go the extra mile to ensure your business is tuned up by a specialist.

Take this time to find your niche, dont be a neighborhood specialist like everyone else.

Only way I'd sell this (better to 1031 exchange of course) is if you want to move out of state.

By that I mean, I have taken college courses on REI and I understand the basics.

hi @Gautam Venkatesan I did my ow line courses with Champions Real Estate School

Of course the way this day is going...who knows.

You're also entering the business at a great time - 2014 is going to rock for savvy investors, and that of course will include you!

We are looking to transition from our current jobs to flipping over the course of the next year or so.

I've not seen nor heard of others being offered to be a mentor.Perhaps do some research in the 'real estate guru, book and courses' section in the forums.

I remember when the news did a special report...it was 100% fluff.Of course, this was everywhere, not just Bakersfield.
