All of these replies are awesome, but I particularly fell in love with J. Scotts. The reason why is because I'm hopeful that I will get an opportunity to execute a process such as this one; only difference is I would like to do a little bit of shadow boxing to get my feet wet or soaked which ever comes first. Kudoz for De Guzman for starting the post.

Hello everybody, I have a couple of questions to ask. Can Rick Dawson's "Deed Grabber" be useful to a newbie and if so, would that be profitable way to go for a newbie? While I am becoming more settled with this website and getting to know members-AWESOME; I was just wondering would it be of any value to attend the REIA's University seminars? Thanks a heap for all answers.

Hello Kozette, my name is Winona and I don't have to know you to be proud of you and your level of stamina. I've only just begun and I have a long way to go; however, I will be taking carpentry courses soon and also plan on getting some heads-up experience with habitat for humanity. I would like to rehab, flip, or rent for a start.

With that being said, I have a daughter that's T-totally opposite of me. She tapped into her femininity stage way before I did and so it is to this day. She likes tightly fitting apparel and I more so do a casual dress pant with some nice expensive loafers-Bass to be exact. You have come to the right place for real estate info and encouragement.

Do you and love the skin your in. Trust me, with my strong demeanor, athletic style; I've had my share of persecutions and grappling with feeling like I'm out of place. Later on I found out that there's not another me and my uniqueness is anothers treasure. I'm the type who will stand for you. If we're doing business then let's do it. I maybe only a small portion of your help, but I take grand stands, and why? Because I walk in authority. Go ahead and do what you do and be the best at it because you are already qualified-dont allow it to be denied. It took me years to come to know me and for now I say-no properties, no leads, no experience but guess what:You Can't Touch This:-)

Thanks Pyrrha, I receive your welcoming compliment. I agree that a brave heart will profit you eventually. As they say, "A coward dies a thousand deaths." Believe me, I've had my share of dying deeds. I'm still learning-in life period, but its a good thing and that's another reason why I'm on here because I have to die to self which is hard to do when you are a strong willed person. I know though that I cannot do this one alone. Be blessed, stay blessed and hope to here from you soon.

P.S. Stone Mountain, Georgia, now how interesting is that. :)

Thank you all for the input, I really do appreciate it and thanks for the kind welcoming it really helps. Some times it's hard to see your way alone but this forum has quickly shown me that help is on the way. I just have to keep at it to learn. By the way, where do I begin to find a flip? Your right Steele, I wouldn't want to be a liability to no one only asset if possible.

Joan you're also right because that's what I was trying to say, it just didn't come out right. I basically want to look and learn. Watch the procedure for rehabbing and flipping and maybe clean up, put away tools or some light demo would help. Sharad, I will try to find the REIA. I'm now looking forward to that move. Again, Thanks you all.

Hello all, I reside in MI but just wanted to know how hard is it to find a rehabber/renovator who would be willing to let you get your hands and clothes dirty? If so, do they allow women to work with them. Since I've been reading and tasting some of this awesome sauce info it's really building up my confidence even though Mr.Fear keeps rearing up his head , but I'm experiencing levels of strength.

Fear is nothing more than False Evidence Appearing Real (acronym). I believe in probity so I will speak the truth; I do not have any experience but have the tenacity and the willingness to stretch myself. I want be taking my carpentry courses until the fall semester and I also plan on doing some work with Habitat for Humanity. The vision and desire is there but just like breaking up-starting up is hard to do. Thanks a zillion to all who responds.
