CC Debt, Misc Debt, car note, and student loans.Scared that because I keep hearing that real estate is at an all time low, it is not a good time.Scared that because I am a woman, contractors and etc will try to take of advantage of me because I will not have all the knowledge (not books but practial).Am I overreacting?

Welcome to the forum.If you find yourself in need of a Realtor or Certified Residential Appraiser, drop me a line.John LaBelle

I am a general contractor in central California.

Networking at REI club meetings can open up deals and contractors to you too.

You may also consider having a general contractor to give you a free estimate.

ALSO, if your getting into flipping, which is the route I'm going to take, you need to man up, because contractors will push you around, and you'll lose out big time, or take forever to get flips finished and sold...

Around here Subject to is also referred to as a land contract or a contract for deed.

If I personally am lending we usually require $1000 earnest money and $4000 certified funds to close.

Also what do you guys think about this one person I know he is 54 he is a client of ours and he is a contractor, he says he wouldn’t mind teaching me even more he encourages me to get into it, by taking me to his work place and start teaching me what a house needs how to find it etc. though I really like the idea of learning from him I was wondering what you guys think?
