Is there any organization out there that can teach me real estate investing ? I really would like to get into real estate investing. However, I do not have a mentor. I wish I knew someone who started with nothing and now is a productive real estate investor. I see info out there about becoming a real estate agent but nothing on how to become a real estate investor unless you read books which I have. I just think it would be so much more educationally informational for me if I worked with someone one on one. Can anyone assist me? I appreciate all answers. Thanks guys!

How do I get into Real Estate Investing within a major company? So I can go on about my life, but I want this answer.. i'll just get right to it. I am a newly licensed real estate salesperson. But my goal isn't really in this state, or being an agent for more than three years... and it's not about the market, Im just a little anxious. So listen, I got the license because i want to get into investing, I want to flip houses and then be able to sell them myself, access to the market, etc. I already have partners in mind, whom after a few words are very interested in joining me. I know a ton of people in the construction business, landscaping, you name it. What I am having difficulty in, is finding a company where I can be an investor or even an assistant to learn the ropes. Is it true a license is not going to cut it, and I need to go to school for some crazy business degree or something. Can anyone help me with this, I'm mostly looking for advice, no links to investing on my own, I have zero dollars and I want to invest WITH money.
Would a minor in finance help me in the field of Real Estate Investing? I am a criminal justice major at my college but I plan on getting involved in real estate investing as well. I have taken courses from the Trump institute and the Robert Allen institute. I was wondering if a minor in finance would help me in this field? The courses are intro and intermediate microeconomic analysis and intro and intermediate macroeconomic analysis. Then intro to investing, and then real estate investing. Is that all really worth my while or is it just going to be a waste of time? Could I find enough information on investing elsewhere?
where/how can I register a business in Canada strictly for real estate investing liability protection? I am looking to expand real estate investing into a more full time business, so I would like to register a business, but for my personal asset protection only. I will not have office space or employees so I don't need a fancy business registration; I am only looking for help in setting up an LLC or something similiar to be operated from Canada, with the majority of my real estate deals in the USA. Based on that- registering a business name basically for liability protection, and to be operated from Canada but with deals found in the USA- can someone give me some advice or point me in the right direction on registering cheaply and with low fees (maybe online?) either an LLC or something similiar in Canada that I can use in the USA and also Canada simply for my personal asset protection from being sued? Alternatively, can I register an LLC in a random state- but use it nationwide and in Canada- and operate it from my home in Vancouver, Canada? Thanks everyone.

Best way to start investing in real estate? I'm interested in how veterans of real estate investing broke into the market. I've read too many books and listened to too many seminars that pin your start on deal-of-a-lifetime type purchases and shady accounting. Do you think its worth buying, improving and selling a home in a short time? Do you think buying and renting is the better way to go? (Renting seems better if prices fall but carrying several mortgages is as scary) What kind of financing did you use? Down Payment? (Yes/No/How Much?) How much was your initial investment if you were improving the property? Did you take out any loans to cover your improvements? I'm in my mid 20's. I live in the South Shore MA area. I don't pay rent and incur about $400 monthly expenses. I have a good full time job (+50K), some saved money (+10k) and good credit. I'm very organized, fairly well educated on the subject (a lot to learn) and i have friends who are listing agents and contractors. Any feedback/contact would be appreciated

What is the best real estate investing business structure? All the investing literature I have read say to protect yourself from liability and taxes. I know there are LLC and Corp (S and C) which provide these benefits. The investing literature also says to use the banks money to leverage your investing (OPM). However, my lender will not provide a single or multi family home investment loan for a business (only under my name). So, how do I create a business structure that protects me but still allows me to get home loans.

Real estate investing: Becoming an LLC versus being and individual? I am contemplating becoming an LLC to better "protect" my real estate investment. The question I have is what is the advantage of being a LLC as it relates to personal injury and civil law suits versus remaining an individual owner.

How can I get started in real estate investing without much money? I am 24 years old, I graduated from college last year. I work as a contractor right now with some guys. I really want to be a real estate investor. I want to start with small rental properties, but all the money my wife and I make pretty much pays the bills and we don't have much left over. Also, I never know how much I will make each week because work is unpredictable, so I know a conventional loan is pretty much out of the picture. Any advice anybody?
Are condos a good way to break into real estate investing? I have always been interested in real estate. I'm 25 and I am really considereing making my first move on an investment property. I think a condo would be a nice way to start. I realize condos don't offer as much potential for profit as a house but they are for the most part cheaper and seem like a reliable stream of income if you can rent one out. I am interested in Orlando, Miami, and Las Vegas as potential areas. I would prefer that people experienced in real estate answer this. Preferably someone experienced in condos. Thank You.
good education background for real estate investing? My long-term goal is to get into real estate investing. I have completed the education required for and will be taking my real estate license exam next month. I do not have 6 months income saved and do not see it feasible with school and work while living independently. I would like to pursue the education or degree that would be most beneficial in the long run for investing. I have thought about Construction Management (associates) and then from there pursuing a Construction Engineer (bachelors) degree hoping the experience and knowledge will help me flip homes and start saving for investing. My brother is taking the business route in real estate and going for the Business Management degree. We both eventually want to end up owning a business together and so I would like my education to bring equal value to the table. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
