If you buy puts on a stock or ETF as a r/e hedge you are making the assumption that equities (more specifically the stock you own puts on) move in the same direction as the real estate market the home is in; This may or may not be the case.

RE is full of Mr.

If you're going to move in order to do RE investing (buy and hold, I assume you mean by "investing") there are probably few areas that are worse to move to than LA.

That's where there's widespread knowledge of the property's availability and because RE agents are involved, pricing is usually at or near retail.

Greetings,We are in need of a referral for RE Lawyers in the Gwinnett County/Metro Atlanta Area, who effectively work well with investors and are competent with Real Estate Contracts (i.e Lease Agreements, Seller's Finance, etc).

Network with other RE investors in your region but take everything with a grain of salt.

While there are certainly good opportunities to make really great returns in apartment complexes, if you are just starting out in RE investing, do yourself a favor and buy a house or duplex.

If you are hired in a company or made a working partner you may be fine, if you're just paid a commission on your own for a deal you may have problems.Folks wanting to get started in RE need to think down the road as to what they do to establish their reputation with other RE pros in the area, including Realtors and generally they don't look positively on birddogs. :)
