When I got started, I studied various courses at the CC--RE investing, appraisal, brokers, etc. I didn't want to sell or appraise,as I had another career. I just didn't want to NOT know what was important. I also spent a lot of time at the public library. I was able to retire at 54; my husband was 58.<BR/>PS-"Up in their business" means following them around making suggestions; "Up in their Grille" means arguing with them or more literally, getting in their face. Gotta get the lingo right.Neither is desirable. They are professionals and have a code of conduct.

Also, if you would use a friendly local bank for financing,they could advise you of best locations to purchase, plus they can help you with "worst case" scenarios. My opinion is worth what it cost you. Ha, ha. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
