i was wondering if ther is anyone out there willing to help a 21 year old college student in new york get his feet wet in real estate investing i would love the chance to learn the basics from a seasoned investor. dont get it twisted im not looking for a handout im looking for a mentor :superman: who is going to shorten my learning curve and bring out the best. i love real estate and would love the chance to get started on the right path to successful real estate investing -Calan-

I've come across the term "deficiency bid" and I'm wondering how often would a bank really let this happen as opposed to just buying the property and try to sell it as REO down the road?

they have a couple cities they show. but i've notice that they all seem to get there work done very cheaply,i never flipped a house but it seems like they get guys to work for nothing, they also claim projected profit, if the property sell for what they want, and i wonder if the cost of there houses include closing cost and such. but i do wacth regularly.

I was wondering what the best way to go about this and making the most profit as possible.

But, in particular with being in the suburbs the prices for homes are expensive..I wonder if i should try to focus on a market in another area of IL or South East WI perhaps or even MI??

I was wondering what company you work for and if they have wholesale operations.Thanks!!

Just wondering if there is a web site or how people look at a house and determine what rents are going for in the area.

It is a wonderful place, and especially so for investors looking for a huge income and appreciaiton from the lucrative overnight renatl market...supported by 13 million annual tourists.Most of these homes range from $200,000 to $1.4 million asking price, and yield $35,000 to $165,000 yearly income!!!

He bought it 3 years ago for 130,000, and did a little work on it recently.The sign on it now has a few letters and a phone number, not a real estate agent or company.After reading a TINY bit here, I wonder if that seller now is a wholesaler, or at least someone who bought it at a lot less and is now asking the same as what the original fellow had.

I just signed up and I figure the education I'll get couldn't hurt, but I was wondering if anyone here has earned one of those $1,000 checks for finding them a deal.
