I want to go into real estate investing. I attended a 3-day training session and learned a lot about it, though I have a ton to read. I decided that I want to start off with wholesale real estate, then perhaps go into flipping later on, once I’ve raised enough capital.
I need some advice and step by step on how to go about it. Can anyone assist me, or steer me in the right direction?
I would prefer a mentor (someone to guide me through my initial deal). I’m willing to pay him/her and/or split the initial profits.

How do you apply the Kelly Criterion to stock investing? Any ideas of how to do this?

I am 21 years of age, no kids, in a relationship, a college student studying business administration and i stay with my parents. I have a job that pays just about $1440 a month. My crdit is ok but i’m working on getting perfect. I’ve been studying real estate for about a year now i’m trying to network to get some advice from real people not books. I have about $50,000 dollars saved I know for sure that i want to hold real estate under a LLC. But i don’t know where to start. In a month or so i’ll be attending seminars on real estate and i even plan to enroll to a real estate class at the local community college. This is what i was thinking about doing:
1. Buy a multi-family property under my name not my LLC. Probaly a 2-4 unit property.
2. I would live in one unit and rent the remianding units to tenants.
After 2 years of paying the mortgage, i would use the equity, if any equity to purcahase an investment property under my llc. Probaly another multi-unit. And that would be the star

im 14 and i read all i could about stock investing, i read about 89 books about the subject and ive earned a place in the top 10 at hedgestop.com, i have saved about $2,000 and im ready to start investing little by little.

My question is DO community colleges offer courses on stock investing? and even do im a minor can i still enroll? not as a long term thing though. more like enrichment.

im wondering if they offer classes like that.

Okay heres the question. I am expecting to receive about $16,000+ very shortly. Coincidently, I also have about 15,000 in credit card debt. I would like to begin investing in real estate. Would it be better for me to (A) take the money and pay off my cards or (B) take only a portion and pay off part of my debt, and keep the rest of the money for down payment/repairs on a real estate investment?

My credit scores are 607, 671, and 649, so I have good credit. However, I do not have well documented income, so I will probably need to do a no-doc loan, and thus would probably need the money for a down payment and/or repairs. Please give your opinion.

I have been watching the stock market for months and done my research, but I am only 18 and don’t understand enough about inner-company economics and finances to make good decisions based on that (I will be a finance and management major, though, so maybe at a later time). On the other hand, I am great at technical analysis. I figure since mid-caps better returns than large caps, and are not as risky as small and nano caps, I fill focus on them (I just set up my Roth IRA). My plan is to research and use my technical analysis tools and indicators (I know they are not extremely effective, but I only need to be right maybe 70% of the time for it to be worthwhile), and stick to mid-caps that are listed on the S&P 500. I figure that these hand-chosen mid-caps have the best finance records, industries, and since they are hand chosen by experts, they should increase my rates of return. What do you think? Thanks!

Been considering buying a few stocks. Is it still worth it or is the money making potential been sucked out of it already?

visage1974 asked:


For those investing in real estate properties, I wanted to get your opinion if it’s a good idea to down 20% or to down as little as possible? What I’m finding is that downing 20% leaves me little room for money to invest in other properties but I enjoy a better interest rate and a lower monthly payment.
