Hopefully it wont take another 911 for you to understand go to utube.com type in iran i cant remember were its at on utube.com but next time i see news in real time i will add it to my favorites and post it here I do beleave there is something wrong going on the gov should stop inflation and focuse more on other countrys atacking us and they should get them 1st i no its an off topic but it all has to do with our economy so i belive its relavant!

My strategy would be to double what I can afford and then focus on neighborhoods in those price ranges and then look for bargain opportunities.

Our focus will probably be northern IL from Rockford into the burbs.

We're focusing most of our energy west of I-71 in reaction to the lending issues, it's a slightly smaller market and so the prices go up a little and the number of deals / frequency you can get them at goes down a little as well.

Creedog: I think the best way for you to start is not by focusing in REI straight away, but to read self help/motivational books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, etc.

The two are simply good friends who like the idea and see a way to make more money.I plan to target to a wide audience rather than the narrowed focus each company has here.

I'm a re agent right now but I'm starting to shift my focus to wholesaling.

I would never suggest a person go to a gun fight only armed with a switchblade, so focus on learning and getting up to "gun" level.

DO you know what your focus is going to be?

I been focusing on properties less that 100k my fathers a contractor and I have and adequate amount of cash to finance the properties and rehab them under this price range.
