I feel like I'm running out of time myself to achieve financial freedom and explore he world which is the dream ending to my fabulous like lol

At 38 I often wonder if it's too late for me to acquire what I seek even though I read so many success stories.

Thanks Steve for you advice and insight. Gives me something to consider.

Darlena, I was just seeking advice for a thought I had. I had spoke to someone earlier who shared some insight with me and wanted to see if the BP community had creative ways around the issue. Eventually when I get into my first house I wanted to eventually leave my job and make real estate investing my full time job. It's seems financing without a regular job is a tough one.

I was wondering if the BP community can help me understand or advice me to how I would be able to refinance a house if I have no job? It's hypothetical. I'm employed now for 8yrs and I just started my paint business. If left my job could I refi using my paint business as my place of employment.

If not, I would like to here how those without a "regular" job refi for cash out for the next deal.

Thanks in advance for all responses and advice

Thanks for all the advice. 

I am willing to put in time, I have repair skills that I'm offering, and even really aimed at finding out how I can benefit them, lunch or coffee on me. I understand I'm not looking for anything for free. I really do thank you both for your advice and maybe I'm not making my intentions clear enough.

I have been trying to express that I am willing to take a day off, if I need to come in he evening, if I need to meet on a weekend, and even stating that I want I will work to a scheduling that fits them. I totally understand that It's not about what works for me but what works for them. 

I was just trying to figure out if it is good practice for me to pick a date or stick with letting them know that if they give me a date  and time I will make it happen.

Good morning,

So I have been having a little road block finding a mentor in my area. I have sent out a few emails and had gotten some responses but when it comes to scheduling I seem to lose them. I understand that these investors are busy however on the other hand I thought I would seek advice about something maybe I could be doing or not doing to add in my search.

So when it comes to scheduling I try and be more in favor of their schedule and not my convenience as much as possible. 

I work in the day and get off at three thirty, my weekends are free unless I have painting for my business. Should I just be picking a date and seeing if I'm lucky or should I continue explaining my schedule so they let me know what works for them and set a date from there? What methods have worked for those of you who have gained a mentor

Good morning,

I have be seeing the method "subject to" being used a lot and though I have read on the description, I was wondering from an experienced investor who has used this method, why and when would this method be useful to? Is it a lot riskier than other strategies? Can anyone lead me to a link that could help me further wrap my head around how I could incorporate this method into my tool box of need be?

Thank you in advance.
