@Tom S. Thanks for the advice I'll definitely look into that , I have seen this more common in commercial real estate. 

@Eric Gerakos what's your perspective on debt ? And was this your only cash deal ? Definitely a lot of cheap property for sale in South Louisiana was told it wasn't worth the time and cash 

@Beauford Jefferies thanks for taking the time to respond to this post, i havent't started building relationships simply because I figured they wouldn't even conversate with me due to credit history, there is one guy I know at B1 I met at LSU . I'll definitely to him 

A few years ago there was this guy on youtube named Jerry Norton . He was Convincing people to wholesale RE , just wondering if its actually a profitable way to get into real estate. If so any advice ? 

Hello everyone I hope all is well, im located out of southeast Louisiana near New orleans . I'm looking to fund my first RE deal . I have been told about Hard money lenders , banks  and credit unions . I'm currently in the stage of rebuilding my credit after bad credit habits as a teen , I was curious on how you all funded your first real estate deal . I saved up cash  but it  still has been very difficult to get a great deal from any lenders due to credit history . Any ideas or advice? 

@Henry Lazerow thank you for the insight, I've noticed these “ Gurus “ selling courses. A few of my classesmates found them to be a waste of time and money. How important is it to have good credit when making these deals? 

@Vince Scipione Thank you for your response, from what I noticed and see everyday most people are in real estate or investing in general to make a quick buck. I’m not exactly interested in investing for a quick dollar. Its much more to life than that, I'll definitely check out some books ,Thanks for the advice .

@Patrick Roberts First off I’d like to thank you for your response.Yes I am currently at LSU, and I'd definitely appreciate it if your able to introduce me to notably seasoned investors. I've heard of the Red Stick group although I was not aware of their monthly meet ups thanks for the insight.

Hello  I'm currently in my sophomore year college pursuing a degree of Electrical engineering. I always pass by these abandoned buildings or abandoned plots of land ask “ what can we turn this into and how can this be beneficial to the area? Maybe its just my optimism I find the idea of real estate very interesting. I'm open to any responses or ideas. I'm reaching out not necessarily for profit but to learn. Of course we all want to make money and care for four families. I personally want to learn from those with experience. I'm coming into this with no experience and no biased ideas. As the wise say “ once you think you know it all you stop learning “ 

I was just wondering ,at the age of 18 what are some things that you can get involved in real estate?
