@James Kirby Are you looking for an agent to find properties for you or to help with selling to other investors as wholesales...or are you looking to sell as L/Os?

I'm not an agent, os this isn't coming from that bias, but my questions to you is "why don't sellers listen to their agents more?  

When I was investing OS I used a PM.

Thank you os much in advance!

hi lindsey, there are lots of homes near the college area that are old and are rehabbed and re sold, they rent out fast because of the college, i have seen many do well. they were built in 1940's, i am a local realtor and investor, let me know if you find a home i can do a comparative analysis, it is best to start off with properties that need minimal work such as paint carpet flooring maybe cabinets and appliances, i suggest if you are just starting dont take on too much, and the under $100K sfr are usually in need of lots of work, so be sure and due your 'due deligence',  join the local groups via meetup.com, FIBI  is a really good one lots os teaching and networking good luck 

Hello BP,I realize "just do it" reigns in business, as well as corporate slogans, but I'm having some trouble in deciding what and, more specifically, how to jump in.I probably have read more about corporate strategy and planning than the actual Xs and Os of REI.Why?

Here's one recent article: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/os-disney-...All of this activity means new jobs and increased housing requirements.

Lease-options are financing arrangements if rents are applied to a purchase price, tax and financing laws have changed, I suggest you see a CPA before getting involved in L/Os. :) 

What OS and version?
