Newbie Needs Direction
I'm 45, a craftsman with many skills, a helper who is young and eager to learn and both of us want a better life. I joined this forum today, 7-27-04, in hopes of finding the answer in REI. Other than reading this great forum (for the past 2 hours) can you wonderful people guide me in the right direction (Carelton Sheets?) Thank you!!!

Real estate acquisition/speculation/investment can take many forms....
I recommend you devise a business plan... Invest another hour or so in reading a 'How To Write a Business Plan.."
The questions raised and your answers while you are writing the plan will point you in the direction you want to go....
