Some big time realtors call these particular realtors and ask their opinion about a price on a piece of investment property because they know that they are so much more knowledgeable than they are.

Thanks alot for sharing the knowledge.

The obvious solution if the wall plug is no longer functioning for the refer is use a extension cord to the refer until the wall plug can be replaced.

After all what good does it do to have knowledge if you can not give something back to others.Thank you again!!

Hi everyone,I am very excited to have found this forum and hope that over the next year or so as i build my knowledge and speak with others who have similar aspirations, i can make the big step into real estate investing.

It might not have been a nuts and bolts book, but it covered a lot of things; good overview for those with minimal knowledge of the subjects.

the funny thing is, you'll read these replies, from total strangers and if you get into real estate investing in more depth - you'll increase your knowledge base - TEN FOLD.then you'll look back on this and the next 50 posts or so and say, "wow, i was really clueless."

Thanks, Knowledge

If you are going to be a successful businessman then you need two things among others:1) the ability to plan out how you are going to conduct your business2) the financial discipline to manage and grow your assets while limiting your liabilities.In this particular business (real estate investing) our two biggest assets are our credit and our cash on hand (followed very closely by our own personal education/knowledge).
