Whereas I live out of the area I need someone trustworthy to  help keep an eye on the property, put a lock box on the door, possibly showing the house, put FOR Sale sign in the front yard, and put a number of (house for sell with owner financing)  signs just out side of the city limits.

Looking forward to attending the next one @Phillip DwyerI will keep an eye out for the details.

I think that it could be a great opportunity to work there first for a couple of years to (1) learn about the whole process/environment from a bird's eye view and (2) obtain contacts and connections that would be beneficial if I were to transfer to the business side. 

I think when analyzing a property is not the time to be a wide eyed optimist.

As an agent, if you listen to the pod casts it will open your eyes to many more facets of real estate investing. 

Then a guy who worked on it with the previous owner offers to live there to finish some work & keep an eye on it paying only $650/month.So several months go by & the 'renter/handyman' leaves & I sell it to an investor who calls NYSEG to get the electric switched to his name.

A property caught my eye (that I'm checking out tomorrow) that is multi-use.

Before I can take on more projects I need to figure out Health, Dental, Eye insurance for my family.  

I'm keeping my eyes open for the right deal, trying to be patient.

They were very helpful and put a lot of perspective into my eyes.
