What we as investors today will not be what we do a few years from now.For instance, in today's market, The Norris Group focuses on rehabbing houses.

I have enjoyed visiting this forum and find it to be one of the best on the internet.I'm new to REI and have a very ambitious short term goal of creating a minimum of $7,500/month income from real estate so I can quit my full time job and do this full time.It appears from my research that the most viable area for me to focus on is Wholesaling in that I want fast results without using much of my own money or credit.I respect the suggestions of the more experienced investors on this forum because I believe experience is the best teacher although it can be painful and expensive.So I'm excited to be here and look forward to some great times.Much Success!

Any help I receive will be greatly appreciated.I am focusing on cash flowing condos with little or no rehab in the Las Vegas market for now.

I will focus on the last statement - "not enough cash flow to cover mortgage."

Do you have any ideas about what area of real estate you'll be focused on?

Some would tell you to tailor a message for everyone, which is good, but you want to focus on problems that will push buttons.Get your message on the internet, you can write an article here and put your contact information in the signature section and market that article through pay per click and save the website cost.Last, target an area that you want to invest in and plaster fliers on every door.

I have been focusing on properties in more preferred neighborhoods.

Just trying to focus on the OP's question about expenses.

Given the heavy focus on commercial, I'd have to guess it was investors or REITs.Interesting to see the numbers involved, vs the BS thrown around by purported bulk REO sellers.

I should add that I wouldn't be doing it for the glamorous job of being an agent.It would strictly be for education and experience with my own plan in focus the entire time.
