How a Newbie Gets Started...

[Adam Ayer]

So you've been to a bootcamp or two. And you decided that REI is the path for you.. the best thing sliced bread (and it is...). You even went to some networking seminars. What's your next step?

I'd like to hear how you personally pursued real estate investing, from the moment you decided to charge forward right up to the completion of your FIRST deal. Feel free to include the steps you took, the fears you conquered, the hurdles you faced, and the successes you won.

Mike,

 

I have been at this since 1997 and I have completed over 100 transactions, ranging from tax sales, shortsales, bank owned, seller finance, probate/estate slaes, new construction, raw land, etc..  drop me an e-mail at [e-mail] if you are serious and want to learn we will work out an arrangement and I will get you through a couple of deals.

 

Look forward to speaking,

Joel

Im looking for someone to coach and assist me and getting my first deal or two completed, Im willing to do a 40/60 split with them I've taken several REI classes including Wholesale which is where I want to start because my capital is very limited. I've came across lots of good deals but not sure how to proceed with them so I've left them alone. I feel like im missing out on a lot of money... so if someone doesn't mind assisting me with getting my first deal or two completed then it will be forever apprieciated.

That's fantastic, Rob. Seller financing AND helping the buyer get a lower mortgage than his rent. Perfect!

Adam, I will try to keep this short.

I have always been intrigued with real estate. I started part time, around another business interest. I bought a small 2 bedroom house on a very small, but clean & quiet street. I talked the seller into holding the financing and I paid for the rehab. I had a contractor renovate parts of the property, making the huge, outdated bath smaller, thus creating a new nice sized bath & a 3rd bedroom. We also finished off part of the basement.

I did my homework (before buying) and discovered that the property was in an enterprise zone. So the buyer buying the property from me could get a $5000 grant to use as down payment. His mortgage company was ok with me paying some of his closing costs, and the interest rate made his payment less than his rent was. It worked out - he got a house, the contractor got some work doing the renovations, I made out ok.

I learned alot from that first property, and many more since.
