I used to be a large real estate investor in Oklahoma and Florida. I have flipped single family homes, built spec homes, had section 8 rentals, and prepared due diligence packages for friends on a commercial scale. 

I have another business, but I have hated it for 6 years. I went broke in 2007 on spec houses in Florida, as many did. 

I haven't touched real estate since. I have 0 derogatory marks and great credit other than bad dti due to some credit cards. 

I am ready to get back in the game. I just don't know which way to proceed. I am used to dealing with homes that were barely priced under the Freddie, Fannie price guidelines to being in small town KY. There is a great ROI on rentals but I will not jump in without proper financial backing.

I look forward to meeting everyone here and learning today's market.

Best Regards, 

Matthew Sparks
