Hey all,
As the title suggests, I am just starting going all in on real estate investment. Let me give you a little background about how I came here.
I was doing an apprenticeship in appraisal. My father has done it for many years and I was doing it under him. He had to retire early and as a result was not able to finish my apprenticeship. I must of looked for over a year for another appraiser willing to take me on and I could not. That is major problem in that industry. There is a mass exodus of sorts and hardly any new blood coming in as a result.
So fast forward to today and I have just completed Fabian Calvo’s course. I understand the potential here is great especially now with all these toxic assets. Now I am basically sitting here reading all these articles from various sites not sure what to do. I know I need deals I can do starting out that are no money down and no credit. I would assume the easiest would be bank foreclosures with a flip?
In terms of networking these really isn’t much here (west virginia) in terms of people, REI clubs etc. There is one about 1 1/2 away from here and I talked to the guy for half an hour, he sounded supportive. He mentioned that there were some in my area that did do it but are not anymore. So here I am with an overload of information, its like I have various pieces of the puzzle strung about and I just need to put them together. ANY advice, tips, anything would be greatly appreciated.
