I'd like to hear your views and can reach me anytime at [email protected] - thanks.

u doing this cash or financing it?

Create LLC, contract on HUD home, get a online pre-approval letter or if u have your own POF or pre-qual letter, find wholesale buyer, wholesale the LLC, get your fee or only collection a portion, retain 1% ownership to sign close docs, close the deal, collect rest of fee and wholesale person gets the house.

I think a great way to begin using BP is to read the Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing as Josh and Brandon did a great job with it.And now that you're here we'd love to see you be an active member of the BP community so be sure to set up Keywords Alerts for your local area such as "San Jose" or "Mountain View" if you're looking to find potential opportunities for investing, education in a subject, or other members in your area.

PM is taking the view that you get tough right away.

But if you were to ask how ensure you are protected by getting an option you'll have better luck.I'm sure most of the older pros on here have similar views, it's not just me and Karen is dead on.Another thing, fill out your profile!

Then see what comes of it and view the properties that seem interesting.

Yep its happening here too, go to becareful when buying rentals in HOA areas.It's ridiculous that people can tell you what to do with your own property.But I guess it's legal, and if u don't abide by it, they will sue you with your own money(much fun)The lesson here is don't buy rentals in any HOA areas.

When u get license and work for a company, there is all the busy work.

Do it as much as u need to until you can estimate it yourself.
