@Jeremy Nault is there a max amount FHA will approve for a mortgage? Considering the applicant's debt to income ratio and earned income meet the criteria. Could they approve someone for a home loan for $1M?

Thank you everyone for your feedback!! I figured working with the government would be the best to start. It seems so complicated because I see there are a lot of moving parts....as always, having connections can make it go a little smoother. This is something I've wanted to do, but I will definitely wait until I'm a little more established!

Thank you everyone for your help! It all makes sense. I had one deal before that I didn't need to use earnest money, but considering I'm entering commercial I know the EMD is usually higher.

It is apparent that the motivator in real estate investing is gaining financial freedom. Great ROIs are goal….hot up and coming areas are ideal….BUT….how does creating NICE, low income housing (sfr or multi) fit into this dream of investing for big profit? 

I rarely see anyone talking about this strategy or showing any interest in it. I know it’s possible because I’ve seen it done in my city, but overall I feel like the popularity in this is  L O W. 

Does anyone have any experience in this? This is a goal of mine…to create more nice homes/apts for low income families.

Option 1 definitely has my vote!

Soooo is it possible? Is it legal? How do you approach the seller with that type of negotiation? 

Hi everyone! Just curious….has anyone used any creative finance techniques to purchase their own home?? 

Do you recommended this?

Was it the same as using it on investment properties?

What were the terms (if you don’t mind me asking lol)?

@Jerryll Noorden Once again thank you for opening my eyes to something new! Everything you’re saying does make sense (but it’s clear you know that already lol) I look forward to working with you! See ya Thursday!

Hello everyone!!! I’m starting a new journey in the commercial real estate world. It’s easy for me estimate rehab costs for a single family residence or even a duplex but how do you figure it out for an apartment building? I can’t figure out the first step especially…if I’m trying to determine the price for a wholesale deal. HELP! 

This post came at a great time for me. I’ve had trouble in this area as well but your words gave me the boost I needed! Thank you for sharing!
