Thank you, Jerred, Scott, Jason, Guy, and Antonio!!  I will definitely be looking up some of those meetups and networking opportunities!! Looking forward to it!!  Texas, here we come!! :)

Looks like you're getting a lot of requests for the Hubzu secret sauce!!  Would you please be so kind as to add me to the list??? Thank you in advance!! :) Mary Chapman

Looking to find some people to network with in the Austin, San Antonio area!!  We are heading that way in a few weeks and would love to set up some meetings with investors/realtors "in the know" in Texas!!  Anyone out there from Texas??

Hi all, 

My partner and I watched a webinar yesterday evening through someone on myhousedeals.com.  The man who did the webinar said that "small time" real estate investing is soon to become obsolete because real estate is slowly becoming more of a commodity and that large corporations like Walmart are venturing out to invest in 100s of properties at a time, leaving the mom and pop real estate investors struggling to keep up and find properties.  Has anyone heard of this happening?  Is it just a fear-based scam to get people to buy his product?  HELP!!! 

Thank you all for this information!  It was exactly what I needed to know, as these were answers to questions I have had floating around in my head for days now!  Much appreciated!

What is the best advice all of the experts with experience out there can give on HOW to find the great deals???  Name the top three ways to search markets and find the great deals for either rehabbing/flipping or buy and hold??  Thanks in advance!!  

Greetings all!!  THANK you all for your GREAT comments, tips, and advice on my last post!!  They were much appreciated and taken into consideration, as well as followed in some cases!  NOW I am asking what your thoughts are on the importance of an investor getting a real estate license.  Is this necessary?  Is it helpful?  How many would recommend doing this?  

Hi Keith, 

Wow!  Proof of funds and electronic signatures.  Technology is amazing, isn't it?  Thank you for this tip.  We are considering investing out of state, but are still in the very preliminary stages of learning and collecting information from the experts to gain enough knowledge to feel confident in what we are doing, how we will do it, and who we are doing it with.  :)  

Thanks so much for your reply,

Mary

Hi Ali,

Thanks for this info!  I am sure that there are people out there who get themselves into some pretty sticky situations when it comes to real estate flipping and investing!  I definitely would like to avoid that at all costs!!  

Thanks for the tip,

Mary
