Best way to start investing in real estate? I'm interested in how veterans of real estate investing broke into the market. I've read too many books and listened to too many seminars that pin your start on deal-of-a-lifetime type purchases and shady accounting. Do you think its worth buying, improving and selling a home in a short time? Do you think buying and renting is the better way to go? (Renting seems better if prices fall but carrying several mortgages is as scary) What kind of financing did you use? Down Payment? (Yes/No/How Much?) How much was your initial investment if you were improving the property? Did you take out any loans to cover your improvements? I'm in my mid 20's. I live in the South Shore MA area. I don't pay rent and incur about $400 monthly expenses. I have a good full time job (+50K), some saved money (+10k) and good credit. I'm very organized, fairly well educated on the subject (a lot to learn) and i have friends who are listing agents and contractors. Any feedback/contact would be appreciated

Where is private money found for Real Estate investing? I'm looking for a private equity type of lending outfit.

education for real estate investing? My long-term goal is to get into real estate investing. I have completed the education required for and will be taking my real estate license exam next month. I do not have 6 months income saved and do not see it feasible with school and work while living independently. I would like to pursue the education or degree that would be most beneficial in the long run for investing. I have thought about Construction Management (associates) and then from there pursuing a Construction Engineer (bachelors) degree hoping the experience and knowledge will help me flip homes and start saving for investing. My brother is taking the business route in real estate and going for the Business Management degree. We both eventually want to end up owning a business together and so I would like my education to bring equal value to the table. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Out of state real estate investing - good idea or not? I live in Phoenix, which according to CNN/Money List is a 41.9% overvalued market. http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/13/real_estate/overvalued_housing_markets/ But looking at the list, I see there are many areas (like Dallas, TX) which are still quite undervalued. I figure it would be a good investment to buy property in those areas. I can get a 10% CAP Rate investing in Texas, which is a great rate and makes me think I can't go wrong. (I could never find that kind of return in Phoenix or California). So my question: do you think investing in out of state real estate, in "undervalued" areas is a good idea? Or should I avoid real estate altogether since we are entering an uncertain market? If there are any experienced investors out there, please chime in with your thoughts. Thanks!

Help on wholesale real estate investing. How do I begin? I want to go into real estate investing. I attended a 3-day training session and learned a lot about it, though I have a ton to read. I decided that I want to start off with wholesale real estate, then perhaps go into flipping later on, once I've raised enough capital. I need some advice and step by step on how to go about it. Can anyone assist me, or steer me in the right direction? I would prefer a mentor (someone to guide me through my initial deal). I'm willing to pay him/her and/or split the initial profits.

money, credit cards and real estate investing.....? Okay heres the question. I am expecting to receive about $16,000+ very shortly. Coincidently, I also have about 15,000 in credit card debt. I would like to begin investing in real estate. Would it be better for me to (A) take the money and pay off my cards or (B) take only a portion and pay off part of my debt, and keep the rest of the money for down payment/repairs on a real estate investment? My credit scores are 607, 671, and 649, so I have good credit. However, I do not have well documented income, so I will probably need to do a no-doc loan, and thus would probably need the money for a down payment and/or repairs. Please give your opinion.

Starting a business in Real Estate Investing...Need Help!? My problem seems like it would have an easy resolution, but its been chaos. I went into the real estate investing business with a friend. I have been in the mortgage industry for 5 years, she is new to all of this. However, she has excellent credit and I dont at all. The loan that we are getting to purchase the property will be only in her name. Making her 100% liable in the event things dont work out as planned. For that reason, she has requested a 60/40 split, because of the risk she is taking. I dont exactly agree with that. Not sure how the rest of the world does it, so I need some direction. Would there be anything we could do to make me 50% liable for the property in case of foreclosure or any other tragic event? If she is taking all the risk she wants the higher split and I wont agree to that. Any suggestions?

Question about real estate investing? just wondering, i know there is alot of people who wish they could invest in real estate as it is a great investment market. I wish wondering if you would invest in a company that invests in real estate for you? So like lets say the company has all these listings of different real estate projects they are going to buy and you can pick from one. So maybe there is 100 acres they are going to buy at 100,000 dollars. you would be able to invest 1000 dollars in this property threw this company, so realisticly you would on 1 percent of the propety threw the company. then maybe in a year the company would sell the property and get 200,000 for it. you would then get back 2000 dollars. 1000 for the investment and 1000 dollars profit. would this be something you would do to invest in real estate or you think others would do? of course it would be a legal corporation not like some side business. I am just wondering as myself would love to invest in realestate but dont have the money. Thanks!
