Hello Everyone, 

I am trying to use a second number for my campaigns using band it signs across town. I am using google voice for the second number for I dont have to pay for an additional line right now. The only thing wrong with the app is that I can't put a professional voicemail message for people can leave a detailed message of their houses they may want to sell. Any suggestions on any other apps? 

Thank you, 

Josh 

The 23k represents the real estate education cost to learn the industry (was 13k from Fortune Builders) , hiring an accountant, marketing, business start up fees, website monthly costs. This is what I mean by the 23k or expenses or basically business investment. 

My expenses is basically from education/business start up already at $23,000 and personal college student loans. And yes that is what I have been looking for.

Hello everyone, 

I feel that I need to tell my current situation with my Real estate investing venture. It has been about four months since I launched my own company and still have not been able to flip my first property. I have hard money lenders lined up that I am able to partner up with but do not have the other 10-15% down payment to put down on a property. Expenses are adding up and I am beginning to become overwhelmed with paying back loans that I have. The hardest part is finding private money lenders in the area in which I was offering 15% ROI for about 6 months. Any possible advice that would help me become successful is appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Sincerely,

Hello Investors,

My name is Josh Daniels and my company is looking for private money to close on some properties fast. I am only asking 20% of purchase price of property as I am lined up with Hard money lenders to do some flips in the coming month. What a better way for your money to work for you while secured in second lien position!! In exchange I will give a 15% ROI even if the rehab is done way before the deadline date and sold.

Thank you everyone for your feedback and time. I will create a process to funnel out these scammers so that this does not happen again. For those that might be feeling they too are in a scam, they will agree on whatever loan amount you need. Ask you to wire a transaction fee (mine was $500) to a loan agent that they have, can provide you with identification if asked (still could be fake/stolen), can't find them on social media or have credibility of friends/colleagues, communication is difficult on the phone, can provide wrong account numbers of individual that is on a real bank spread sheet (had to go to chase to confirm), say that they need $2600.00 (other half they paid) for the bank transfer be completed from the IMF (international money fund). The reason that I fell into this trap was because I wanted immediate cash for down payment to finally buy my first property and I have overlooked the process to screen out these type of people. Even though my loss was small, it was a good learning experience and I will need to meet with private investors in person before it can be considered if we both will be a right fit. 

Hello Bigger Pockets, 

Is there a way/process how you can funnel out scammers when it comes to private lending. I personally need funding to start buying properties which I will be working with hard money as well. I have been contacted by three people saying that they can fund from 5k-1mil. So currently I am supposedly working with one where they will provide 100K. I have already sent $540.00 for the Loan to process but then was later ask for 2600.00 for an IMF insurance protection. He is saying that the Loan is legit and even provided his Drivers license and passport (still could be fake). The lender is from out of state in New Jersey so there is no way of actually scheduling a personal meeting with him. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hey Devon, 

Yeah that property is possibly the type of deals that the lender may require. I am interested in your other   projects as well. Do you have any references of private/ or hard money lenders so that I can close with you on some of these projects?

 Hello Melissa, so right now I've seen a posting to build 8 town homes for 650K in an incredible neighborhood in the Tampa area. Property is currently being rezoned from RS-50 to RM-18 and purchased contingent on zoning finishing in September. 2200 sq ft 2 story product with new comps high 400s. Is this the type of deals you work with? Or is there other ways we can work together?
