People buying lists guess what hundreds to thousands of others are also usually buying the same list so they tend to be worthless lots of times.If you want to be a wholesaler you might do better to be a real estate agent.

I agree...it's so big that offerings tend to get lost in the electronic heap.

This is driving me nuts.

I think the best show is Property Ladder. 90% of the time, they show some first timer trying to flip the house and going nuts, usually breaking even or losing money.

Anytime a place is empty many landlords tend to catch up on deferred maintenance, this is a bad idea as it costs you in forgone rent.

This time tends to be a down period for real estate..

I just tend to always size up my wire.

:oops: There's still a fire in me to get into investing into real estate, and with a few minor changes to my mind set I belive I'm ready to step up to a career to get some good hard money saved ( And hopefully have some fun and learn some lessons along the way ).I wanted to know in a nut shell what types of careers there are in real estate and what perhaps would be a recommendation for a 20 year old with no experience.I was thinking perhaps starting as a real estate receptionist ( one with VERY good ears, hint hint ) to break into the career and eventually the market.

Timeshares tend to overstay their welcome.

Some are tending to set up negotiations and then complete once "relief" is granted or the debtor files a motion to dismiss.
