@David Lopez & @Heather DeGeorge thanks a lot for the good info and support

@Sandy Thomas , I live in Orlando, Fl and sadly $900 is not a super great budget, specially if renting. I will follow your advise and get pre-approved :)

@Sandy Thomas & @Devan Mcclish, both great points, many thanks!

@Paul Timmins, yes I am all over the place :) but thanks for the advise, will do that

Hi guys, I'm starting my real estate investing business, haven't done any deals yet, I'm still looking for a good break and studying a lot. My dilema is my personal situation. I live in an apartment complex, my lease is expiring in 5 months, I want to move but I'm not sure what to do. Should I rent again for the moment? Should I buy a small house to live using my credit? (I'll be a first time buyer) Maybe get a rehab and keep it? Is it smart to use a private lenders money for my own home? Should I get an agent? I know I threw out there too many questions, but I'm lost and a little desperate. If it helps, I've been in my current job 3 1/2 years (and hate it), earn about 43k per year, I pay $900 monthly rent now and don't think I can afford to pay more than that without other source of income, also loan would be only myself and my credit is in the 690's. My priority now is quitting my 9-5 job, but this end of lease is making me question what is the right next step for me. Any advise, comments and guidance is greatly appreciated!!

hi guys,

We are new here, just joined this morning and we are very excited to be part of this community. We are based in Orlando, Fl and looking to start our investing business. 

A few weeks ago we attended the Fortune Builders 3 day seminar, which cost $200.00 and promised to give us all the info we needed to succesfully start investing. In my case, I didn't learn anything worth the $200.00 and at the end, they only wanted us to buy a Mastery package, priced between 15k up to 35k.

Today, we just ended a 2 hour long call with one of their "top notch" advisors for a "second interview". He was not very happy and not very accomodating either, when we asked for a couple of days to think it over. He was willing to only gives us until tomorrow at exactly 6:00pm, when he will give us a call. Because like he said: "we needed to start learning to make commitments and stick to them".

That kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. My mind is made up but still I would like to know what others think and if any of you have had an experience with Fortune Builders, please share. All comments, advise and help are inmensily welcome.
