you do not need any specific job experience.only a sound judgement to find out a steel in the market.
normally foreclosure are a steel but some are not.you have to invest in areas which will give you growth not a run down neighbourhood.
I have been doing and helping people buy these investment properties in Katy/Houston area.need help call me.
Also, do it your self will be great to save money but also all jobs you can not handle so join real estate investor clubs and get handy man help.
good luck...kadi...832-228-7978
