Great, thanks for the info Adam. 

W-2!

Hi

I am a new real estate investor looking for lending on a SFH in Greenville, NC (East Carolina University). I have a surplus of reserves to cover a 20% down payment, repairs, and enough to cover potential vacancies for several years.

I am running into some bumps in the road when trying get funding. I have a solid credit score and a zero debt. I currently play baseball professionally but only receive pay for 7-8 months of the year (duration of season) so I am struggling to prove stable income to a lender. 

What sort of creative lending options do you recommend. I am open to anything and everything! 

Thank you for your time! 

Hey Adam

Would love to attend this event. Are you still hosting the event in person or is there any web based viewing option? 

Thanks and Look Forward to Speaking

Not to sound cheap...but more access not non pro members :) 

Good Afternoon BP,

Hope everyone is enjoying a great holiday season. 

I am a pitcher in the STL Cardinals organization and am in the market for a two bed/1bath condominium or apartment unit within 30 minutes driving commute of Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Florida. 

My budget is $100k and would ideally like to find a place near the water/beach. My plan would be to live in the unit during spring training (March) and rent out the unit the other 11 months of the year. 

I am somewhat familiar with the area but not the prices of units that fit this description...so my question to you all is whether or not this is doable and if so do you know of any listings currently available?

Any guidance is much appreciated. Thank you all for your time. 

Chris

@Laura Shinkle This is all great information and has given me much to consider. Thanks again and I will do some research this week to explore what my best option is going forward. Like you said, it can't hurt me to learn the business in more than one state! 

@Laura Yates thanks for your comment. I have considered taking the pre licensing course in FL then taking the exam when I get back to NC. Do you think I would be adequately prepared if I took the course in FL?

Right now I am playing baseball in the Cardinals organization and would like to practice in the offseason. Not sure if any firm would take me for half the year but it’s worth a shot!

Thanks again.

@Brian Corbett

Thanks for your help @Brian Corbett. Believe this is what I will have to do. Might as well go ahead and get my license down here in Florida to expand my knowledge base and switch gears when I get back up to NC.

Hello everyone,

My goal before my 24th birthday is to 

A. Get my real estate license

B. Generate $1000 of monthly passive income from investment properties. 

My question for you all is what is the best path to get my license. I have a somewhat unique situation, where I will be living in Florida for my current job from January '20 to August '20, but will be practicing in my home state of North Carolina. North Carolina requires I complete a state-approved 75-hour broker pre-licensing course in a live classroom and take the exam in North Carolina. 

This presents me with a little bit of an issue. Do any of your guys have any suggestions? I really want to avoid having to wait till August when I get back to take the course...this sets my plan back half a year. 

Thank You for your Time! Anything Helps!

Chris
