Getting Started

I first got interested in the idea of RE investment a year or two ago, but only started considering it seriously about a few months ago--say Jan '04. I have really been trying to spend some time learning before I leap...The big question to answer will be: Where do people who have a full-time job find the time to pursue REI? I work a day j-o-b, so this will be a big learning experience.

So far I have read about a dozen books (to be listed later); listened to dozens of hours of tapes from a few "gurus", attended one all weekend seminar, and joined two local REIA groups.

Today I signed up at a local realtor's website to get property listings mailed to me that meet my criteria: junkers, really bad-shape, ugly houses! My goal here is to wholesale these to other investors. We'll see how it goes.
