thanks for the advice Paul,

 I was checking out hud homes online and the selection seemed to be very limited and restricted to the less desirable areas. Is this you experience as we'll? Are there more hud homes that only agents have access too?

thanks Mindy,

I received the initial email  but for some reason I did not get the follow up email. 

Thanks for the link.

hey guys,

I missed last nights webinar that I signed up for. Aren't all the webinars available to non pros for a few days after?? I can't find a link or anything allowing me to rewatch last nights webinar. Can anyone shed some light on where I can go to watch it??

Thanks.

Hi all,

My name is A.R. Coningsby and I am working on buying my first REI in the Fort Lauderdalearea, where i currently live and work a full time job. Ideally i would like to buy a 2-4 unit multifamily that i would "house hack" that needs some work and continue to buy more small multifamily units in the future. I am sick of paying rent and having it go toward nothing!!

I believe in order to achieve my goal, an appropriate loan for me would be a FHA 203(k) as i do not have a large down payment to put down but i am willing to put in the work. I have excellent credit and a steady job history.

Since the age of 9 I grown up and currently live in a family owned triplex of which much of the maintenance has been done by myself. I have lived next to good tenants even more bad tenants so i understand the importance of the screening process.

I have listened to about half of the podcasts here on BP and can continue to read all the blogs. Seems like i can not get enough of them. Also just about finished with the "Ultimate beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing". Thanks Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner.

Right now i am working on getting a team together to turn my goal into a reality. Any assistance from the BP community regarding FHA 203k loans, real state lawyers, appraisers, real estate agents who have experience with owning investment properties, and anything else a newbie like myself might overlook would be greatly appreciated.

thanks all.
