I need investment advice

[marina.meggy]

I am thinking about doing a 2 property deal tomorrow and would like to hear what you think about it. The properties are in extremly desireable areas of the Phoenix metro area(3,000 sqft. in Chandler & 1700 sqft. in Gilbert). Chandler property is a sale price of $515,000 and the Gilbert property is a sale price of $360,000. I will get a total of $65,000 back at the close of both properties. I will live in one and rent the other out. I plan to use the money to do a couple of rehab projects. I can borrow from hard money and use my 65,000 to do the repairs. These type of projects are hard to find but still can make $10,000- $15,000 profit off of each. Also I want to invest in some pre-construction projects but will have to make some quick cash first to pay my 2 huge mortgages. My problem is I am scared to do this deal. What if it goes wrong? I have never even owned a home before. I am young and have never invested money in anything. I make decent money but not enough to cover this mortgage for to long if my plan does not work out. I do know a good deal about real estate, I am a mortgage broker with a background in construction. I think this will all work out but like I said I am afraid to think what will happen if it don't. Please give me any words of wisdom you may have. Thanks from th bottom of my heart.

Any Investor whether it be real estate, stock market, etc. needs to visit this site before jumping into the world of investing. It can get quite hairy at times. If you are scared now? you are in for quite a ride. Real Estate investing isn't all its cracked up to be for A LOT of people. Most jump into it because of the success stories, having no real clue what they are doing out there thinking that its fool proof...There are many fools in Real Estate.

One quick statement...Those who invest don't become wealthy with the "low risk" investments. High risk pays high dividends! Low risk pays a salary!

You can't be scared to loose. Sometimes putting it "ALL" on the table makes you work that much harder to become successful and in turn will make you SUCCESSFUL! If nothing is on the line, you have nothing to loose and 9 times out of ten...YOU GAIN NOTHING!

Check out the site It will give you the confidence you need to go into Real Estate Investing! Good luck!

lol so wait.. it was spam... to advertise another company?

Because both times it was posted, someone from getrealrei posted the exact same post too.

I guess we found ourselves a smart spammer, or a pair of spammers

Oh THAT is good. Are you kidding me?

Wow, Lydia, good catch. So is this mark44 or what's going on? Sounds like someone might be getting banned.

[Malok]

Sounds like several persons are going to get the axe.

I remember, and responded to the original post ... but I don't get it. There's not any company being advertised so there's no spam. What's the intention of the poster?

It's obviously a double post ... but I just can't figure out the angle.

At least we don't have to write anything ... we can just go read the other comments ... which were pretty thorough.


ps - anybody notice that they even share the same typos? "Thanks from th bottom of my heart."

[judyo]

It has the same typo because it was cut & pasted. We believe that because Wilson_Flagg responded with a website url that they're in cahoots. We are ready to ban them if they post this stuff again.

Ooooh, how sneaky. He even waited a few posts to chime in. I'm fairly impressed.

I think the think the got me the most was the HORRIBLE advice from Wilson_Flagg/Camden about how only "high risk pays dividends" and the need to "risk it all". It sounded like Robert Kiosaki + Carlton Sheets in a horrible get-rich-quick with none of your own money while you collect passive income from your own business and don't have a boss.

I guess I should give a little more scrutiny to bad advice instead of just wondering who the dummy is. (It might be me!)
