Quote from @Bryce Jamison: @David Greene talked about this recently on his new podcast.He recommends being an overall real estate professional so you can make money in numerous ways and in different economic climates, and more importantly, you can help folks in all stages of their life and with all their real estate needs.Sometimes your helping folks find a good handyman, sometimes you're renting them one of your units only to be their agent later on when they're ready to buy, then maybe you're giving them house hacking tips after they buy.I can’t disagree with that, although in this age of almost unlimited information, I believe in the need to specialize.

@Jaycee Greene@Ashley Clair Bouton I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you won't be able to do this with a bank, credit union, or HML with only $3k (regardless of your credit score).

Quote from @James Holmes: @Jaycee Greene good point and thank your for helping.

Foreclosure auctions, true ones, are all cash, no access (sight unseen other than photos), and still possible to get liens that were not disclosed.Some of the auction sites like Hubzu and Xome have ghost bidders that push the prices up and relist over and over until they beat the price they want.Whatever you are thinking, you are too green to think this way.

@Jaycee Greene@Sean Dempsey hopefully they do the right thing. 

They post daily info on approved plans, new developments, and more.Agreed with @Jonathan Greene, relationship building + self-educating is the way to go.

Quote from @David Pulido: @Jaycee Greene we are looking to purchase 2 properties this year.

Quote from @Jennifer Green: That's a great question.
