These programs have such a high rate that your property will be nowhere close to breaking even.It's out there, It just does not make sence to do it.Woods

Whether you like the guy or not, its pretty fun to read about the big deals that he's been involved in.There's a bunch more great business books like i love, but those are good places to start!

Basically I never really involved myself with financial... anything!

If the deal looks good to these people, they are likely to get involved.

My education cost me a lot in money spent on programs and seminars that only taught enough to get in trouble as well as in deals and money left on the table.

hiya,let me introduce myself. i am a 21 year old enthusiastic investor from toronto, ontario. i have been involved in the purchase of three properties this year ranging from multiplexes to houses with acreage. this limited experience of actually getting proactive and getting started has taught me way more than any book has ever taught me. a tip to other beginners. i have also had some background knowledge in the real estate industry with my parents starting out a real estate rental business 10 years ago. however their knowledge is quite elementary and i have a lot to learn. fortunately i have found this site. and while browsing for the past couple days i have found that there are many invaluable resources and brilliant minds aboard.ps. slthough i have found the canadian content lacking i am confident that with our similar laws the ideas are all valid.looking forward to meeting you,joe

The more involved the rehab the more I am going to insist on maintaining a 30-40% profit margin.

Never go into any investment (this applies to stocks too, not just RE) that you don't completely understand and can explain to ANYONE else, how the program works, how much you have at RISK and how much is your ptential reward.INVESTORS own RE for only ONE REASON.

I knew we were in bad shape when they were talking stock picking advice on ESPN.Is this HGTV program a sign of the times or signaling doom?

Thanks for getting involved here.
