Newbie and overwhelmed

[Charles Bright]

Started off wanting to buy and hold to have at least  10 properties b4 i retire in 10 to 15 years. Almost done with Mr Turners book ( How to create wealth and passive income through smart buy and hold real estate investing). Now I'm kinda worried  about my organization  skills to be able to do this, and not treat as a hobby.  So i get a call from a company  in Utah "dohardmoney.com" and it seems easier  to get money to flip a house rather than buy w a conventional loan w 20 percent....Any feed back would be greatly  appreciated and im excited to be part of this community.  Good luck to all! Thank you ..... Charles
