So the deal is that I'm fling bankruptcy something I didn't intend on ever doing but two divorces can do a number on you. The lawyers tell me that I can either wait two years or I can find a way to do it now. He claims clients of his have discharged their bankruptcy and as they were walking out, finalizing with their lending company for a home. Part of me wants to believe he's a lawyer just trying to make me feel better, but the other part of me remembers a time when I watched an informational about investment real estate and didn't want to believe that either.
I'm moving from Tacoma in September over the mountain to Moses Lake. I really don't want to get into renting a place but I have this sinking feeling that we won't be able to buy anything because 1) bankruptcy, 2) lack of income caused by the relocation and having to find another job, 3) little to no down payment or money.
It's not that I wouldn't be able to find really well paying jobs over there. My family there have connections, just not the kind of connections that are going to get me money for a house or anything. Not only that the houses that I'm looking into are lower cost and I'm getting the feeling most lenders are not interested in that kind of thing. Anyway, any advice would be nice. I'm just starting to scratch the surface on investing. I'm still debating being an agent.
Hey everyone, sorry that I've been MIA for a while. I got caught up in stuff and well... stuff. I have a lot to write about and many questions.

Thank you! I totally can't wait to finally move onto this new chapter of my life and look forward to many hours reading all the information on this site.
Hello and thank you for introducing me to your wonderful website. I've been interested in real estate since 2008 when I watched an infomercial at 2 am. Granted I realize there was a lot of hype to that infomercial but it peaked my interest enough to do some research. I was on track for a bit until my father passed away and I got a little distracted. Recently I've been focused on pushing forward with my investing goals. I've completed the 90 hours of real estate agent classes and still have to complete the exams. I don't exactly know how I'm going to do it, but I intend to get the $671 I need for the exam and registration before August (the deadline).
My goal is to invest in enough real estate that I can make enough passive income to survive and take care of my son. I realize that real estate investments can give me a lot of money, but I really just want to succeed. I look forward to meeting some new people with experience that can give me solid advice to follow. I'm open minded to learning for sure. I want to be successful.
