And I want to know in which area should I focus in attaining my knowledge while in here so I know what I'm doing once I get back.As I mentioned, I'm pretty new to this.. and any form of help and advice would be greatly appreciated :)And also, if there are any active duty military members or vets that could help me by explaining what advantages I have as a member of the armed forces when in comes to real estate investing, would be greatly appreciated.Filip Vaco

You have far more to lose with inaction than screwing up your first deal.Additionally, take advantage of that W-2.

It's great to see you taking advantage of that.Hope to watch you grow as an investor! 

I would love the opportunity to network with other investors in the area and am looking forward to taking advantage of all BP has to offer!

By the time we Close on a property we already know which tenants we wish to keep and which we will cut loose (and when).The advantages of Closing on a full building is you have a revenue stream out of the gate.  

I don't accumulate any credits that way but I make sure I position it so I can buy at current market prices but take advantage of the future market value. 

Although the sellers being unrepresented many times will sell for far less than what a good broker could have gotten them for the house.As an agent you open your self up to challenges if buy a property too far under market and the idea is that you took advantage as a professional of the poor seller ..As a private investor you don't have those Ethics issues and agency and fiduciary issue.

There are tons of people out there looking to take advantage of inexperienced real estate investors

Most of what goes on in wholesaling IE not buying the property just trying to tie it up and assign a contract in my mind and I think most states if taken to the mat is acting as a re agent without a license.. and some states are starting to crack down on the activity as they get complaints of the many newbie or not so honest folks taking advantage of the public.I make pretty large % of my income helping fix and flippers do just that come into title on the properties so they don't have these issues. 

This is a great way to a)become a homeowner, 2)start investing in real estate, and 3)take advantage of financing programs like the FHA203K program.
