I have a Bachelor's degree in International Studies, and minors in Business and Spanish. 

I am currently working with one of the premier minds in this area IE mining for lots.... and shadow plats.working on a home study course that will allow those who purchase to jump ahead of competition as in hardly anyone knows how this is really done.. 

Aside from those goals, I plan to read and study as much as I can on real estate in the upcoming 2 years.

After studying all of the available economic data, along with the comments on this thread, I've determined conclusively that either home values will go up, or they will go down. 100% guaranteed.

All it takes is one family blasting music to spark a fight (going through this now). 

I have a meeting (tomorrow) with a very motivated seller but I don't know how to approach this deal..I've been studying the BRRRR strategy not wholesaling but this opportunity has presented itself.I've never done a wholesale but I'm familiar with the concept.....

I see myself as an advisor; however, I'm hesitant to go that route as it will require further studying for certifications which will make it more difficult to focus on real estate, whereas an analyst will not require additional certifications/studying. 

It's also one thing that you can research/study everyday and still learn new things.

While transferring an asset as large as most property holdings can be a daunting task, and does contain some legal and administrative requirements that must be adhered to, studying the process and following the steps, along with involving a lawyer to help finalizing the deal’s closing, will get you safely through to ownership.See the original at: https://www.fortunebuilders.com/real-estate-closing/

I’ve also heard of people studying tax records to see what properties in certain areas sold for what prices over a certain length of time, as well as following the news to see what’s happening in the economy and how it may affect the real estate market as a whole.I’d love to get a discussion going on what everyone has done or currently does to further educate themselves in their market, because knowledge is power and the more we know the more we grow!
