I just wanted to check in with you and see if you were still involved in investing in the Redding market, and what you are doing.

However, there is a lot of risk involved in stocks.

Risks are involved in partnerships as well!

I am interested in Wholesaling in my area and I would like some real answers regarding the idea of putting a property "UNDER CONTRACT" Is it true that you can do this with NO MONEY involved?

I, myself, cater to investors like this that do not want to be involved in the day to day grind of owning investment properties by allowing them to buy percentages of companies that own properties.

However there are always going to be a number of transactions that occur that are not MLS sales.....but that doesnt mean they do not involve agents.  

So I was originally thinking about wholesaling to start but after listening to some podcasts it seems like that is really difficult to do since it involves much precision (one of the casts recommended it for the experts). 

I'm involved in the area's tour industry, so I know a little...

I finally feel like all that landlording stress that is involved in real estate has paid off. 

When I was in college, I wanted to get involved with REI as well but was too overwhelmed or thought nobody would take me seriously.
