You know the secret to real estate investing is just one step way that is what I keep
telling everyone that I work with, the skill set you need for investing in real estate
is the right blend of research and the right firm to work with. Make sure you check their
track record before investing.

Financial independence is the goal.
We will explain why real estate investing is perfect for those who have other
responsibilities and can only work on investing on a part-time basis.
Here you will learn many of the insider tricks,
formulas and secrets needed to assure your success.
Even starting in your spare time you will be striving to turn investing into a full time,
money making occupation. With the ultimate goal of firing your boss and working only for
your own sweet self, that's called financial independence. Tens-of-thousand have reached
financial independence through real estate and so can you if you use that freedom as your
motivation. Print the words "Financial Independence" on some file cards and tape them up
in places where you will see them every day. "What the mind can conceive, the body can
achieve." Put your subconscious to work helping you achieve your dreams. IT'S THE PEOPLE

Would a condo be a good investment as a first time purchase for a single 23 year old? I know this is a little vague, because you are probably asking "fill us in more".

Where should I look for good deals? I'm a total newb.

Condos can be a great option for a young person trying to break into the market. Not to mention that in some areas a simple condo can cost less on a monthly basis then rent for a similar unit. Houston, Texas is where it is at right now. The economy here is very strong. We added 60,000 jobs just in the first quarter alone. Housing is still affordable and prices have been holding stable while most of the country has been experiencing declines. Kplinger magazine named Houston the number one city for 2008. You can find affordable condos for under $100,000 near downtown not far from the second largest perfoming arts center in the country. Not to mention all of the great night life. If you are interested in Houston a great site to check out to get a feel for the market is Har.com.

That is excellent advice. A typical condo here (under 5-10 years old w/ 2 br. 2 bath is about 250- 400 grand). A little outrageous... Texas in general seems like a great place to live. California is way too expensive.

What other parts of the country are great for a first time buyer looking to gain on their property in 5 years?

Investing in real estate has always been solid. If you have any doubt, just read books by Donald Trump. He got into the market at the worst possible time in the NY real estate market, but he came out a big winner. Right now, the housing market is going through a correction period. There is a lot of places you can find good values. Remember, as long as you know how to invest smartly, you can make it a worthy investment. A lot of people make money in a booming market. A lot of people make money in a down market as well.
