MONIQUE

I just wanted to tell you I really appreciate you starting your group and giving advice and encouragement to people on the site. (I've been tempted to join just to be a part of it.) It's great to have you as part of the team. And I'm very impressed with your bio and the steps you've taken to realize your dreams. You will be an inspiration to many.

Best wishes for your success.

Monique, are you from the inland empire? if so do you know alot about the san bernardino area me and my girlfriend are interested in investing in this area but not to sure about what would be the best part of san bernardino to invest in if any info would be great. thanks

I'm not a big fan of SB but if you must I would say try to stay away from homes anywhere near a liquor store and try to drive by at night to check out the noise and traffic. Stay away from homes near apartments and high schools these are potential for disaster. Be sure to check out who your neighbors are you don't want to buy the house thats next to the house that has a bunch of junky cars in the driveway. start with this then go from there remember that the price of the home is not the only thing thats important.

Hi Monique,

Thanks for your efforts to be helpful and participate.

1. I guess you are the closest to me, I'm in Culver City (i.e. near LAX) and looking for a R.E. club in this area. Have you come across any? Do you know anyone doing deals in this area (higher prices, can it be done?)

2. My step son lives in Fontana, and I'm trying to get him into R.E. investing as well. So, in the Inland Empire, is there a R.E. club you recommend?

Thanks,
Jim

I have been interested in learning how to play the real estate game. I have to over come the fear of getting in above my head. I just purchased my personal home for 125,000.00 I make 2,500.00 monthly and the payments are 1018.75 at 5.75%. The monthly payments with my regular expences make me live on a tight budget. My old house I rent out. The monthly rent is 400.00 and the mortgage is 300.00 a month. I purchased the house for 30,000. I still owe about 11,000. Help me get over the fear so I can move to my next property.

I am in search of a mentor....I have an investment group and we are getting our cards in order to get started, I purchased TALD and ordered the book to gain more knowledge in order to develope my craft. I have read other books and went to several workshop.

Delores,

Don't be afraid just be prepared. First I have to ask what state are you in? Looks like your on the right track. If your in a area where houses are not selling fast then rent them out for the time being. Tell me more/
