Should I get a mentor? Land Trusts?

Hello All,

My wife and I have recently joined the Rich Club and are very serious about beginning investing. Any advice for newbies would be greatly appreciated. Not looking for the get rich quick gimmicks, not interested in helping anyone supplement their income by charging thousands for the so-called mentor programs. I'm a Realtor that works mostly as a buyers agent and have a fairly large number of contacts of individuals looking to lease homes. (that's why I'm here) I'm looking for creative ways to acquire some properties and lease them out. If you have any information and you're truly interested in helping others learn from your experience all advice is welcomed. Has anyone actually setup a land contract, if so, I would like to ask a few questions. I can be reached at 832-526-3389. I've done quite a bit of research, however, I can't say that I'm actually confident enough to go out, but knowledge without action is useless.

There's a FREEZE to help STOP the SQUEEZE.

President Bush offers an interest rate freeze.

Dec. 7, 2007

As many of you know, President Bush has presented a five-year plan to freeze interest rates for those with Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) that meet certain requirements. The pivotal requirements, as described thus far, are that borrowers can only qualify for the freeze if they are unable to afford the potential increased adjustments in their interest rate/monthly payment and they haven’t yet fallen behind in payments. Additionally, the freeze is only for loans that will adjust after January 1st, 2008. 

You may know someone who has an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) and is unable to afford their increasing monthly mortgage payment. 

These individuals are encouraged to call the national hotline at:

Mortgages. What's the origin?

Mortgage:  In the word mortgage, the mort- is from the Latin word mori (via old french mort) for death and -gage is from the sense of that word meaning a pledge to forfeit something of value if a debt is not repaid. So mortgage is literally a death pledge. --

Investing in real estate has gotten a lot of attention over the last few years. Too many get rich quick, no money down, late night guru schemes aimed at people with no money or credit seem be all the craze.

But what if you have some money and decent credit? Then forget the schemes and tactics and come see what it really means to be a Real Estate investor. Money can be made in any kind of real estate market. A professional real estate investor makes money when prices are high and when prices are low.

We’ve all seen the commercials.  It starts with the inquisitive “I’m thinking of a number”.  It’s the clean cut young man sitting on a stool promoting how important your credit score is and then advertising that his company, FreeCreditReport.com, will show you your credit scores for free.  He’s absolutely right and he’s absolutely wrong.
