Hi,

We are finishing up our first investment property and hoping to buy our second. I have my eye on a couple of properties that are not currently listed but would be a good fit for what we are doing. I have looked them up on our county's GIS website and discovered the owners. I want to knock on their door and talk to them about making a deal but I have never done anything like that before! Any tips? Do I need to have a number in mind for what I will offer for the property or can I just start an initial conversation without knowing? 

Hi there! My husband and I want to begin our journey into real estate investing and I thought it would be a good thing to study and get my real estate license. I live in SC and one of the requirements states that you must join a brokerage. I work full-time, so I am not interested in doing real estate as my day job right now, I just wanted to obtain the license to have access to the MLS and to help with our future flips and rentals that we acquire. Does anyone know how to meet this requirement without joining a brokerage full-time?

Thanks 

Hi guys,

I am very new in the learning process, but I am very interested in real estate investment and want to get started. I have found a property near Greenville, SC (where I currently live) that currently has 3 mobile homes on it and room to put many more. It is reasonably priced and the homes are older but I feel that they are able to be rented. I would love to purchase this as my first venture into real estate. The property is listed at 160,000 and I only have 10,000 in the bank. I am wondering if anyone has any insight into how I should go about obtaining the remaining capital to purchase this or if it is even possible?  I have good credit but I am only 25 and I already have a mortgage. I think that if the bank counted my current mortgage and I asked for a second one, my debt to income ratio would be too high to obtain a second one. Once again, I am very new in learning about all of this, so please be kind.

Thank you, 

Amy
