Talk is cheap - look at his credentials before investing in a mentor.Be smart about what you do and who you work with - you can look at listed real estate but your best deal is going to come from dealing directly with sellers.Also remember creative financing techniques - nothing down deals - Control and Roll System - Delayed Settlements - Hybrid offers - and don't forget owner assisted financing and make sure you always ask for a principal mortgage.Have fun - make full disclosures and make sure you understand the laws related to mortgage foreclosures - fail to do this and you may have a paid vacation to the Gray Bar Motel (a nice little room with one small window and the food is free, but the space is restricted).Remember your goal should be CASH FLOW or EQUITY - forget the emotional appeal - it is all about numbers - understand them and you'll do well in Charm City.Charles Parrish

I have been reviewing the MLS on a daily basis.

I'm 59 years old and have many opinions but you must have written goals and review them daily no matter what.  

Sure it is, but a heck of a lot better than maybe having the LLCs Vail pierced or causing my SDIRA to need to be liquidated due to improper actions.Just food for thought.

I have since started an e-commerce business, however it is not my most favorite thing to do on a daily basis.

You can subscribe for free to an industry newsletter.Just google Senior Housing News and you'll find it.It arrives daily in my email inbox.

I talk to Mom daily and we try to vacation together at least every couple of years.
