Hi, we are looking into lending options for our first real estate deal and a local real estate agent recommended a company called Movement Mortgage. Has anyone had any experience with this lender or know anything about them?

Thanks!

Hi all, we are reading a lot about multi-family rentals and have a question regarding forced appreciation. If this is best done within the first year but you have renters in the units who's leases are not up until the end of the year, how do you do the renovations while they are still occupying the apartments? Thanks! Mark

Thanks all for the great advice. Looks like it's a process of taking sources of info and weighing them all out to come up with a good number to work from. We will try this and let you know how it works out. Thanks!

Hi, just finished reading "7 Years to 7 Figure Wealth" (great book) and have a question regarding determining the value of a property. I'm assuming that when Brandon recommends buying property for 80% that we should look at the "value" not the "asking price". But I'm unsure how to best determine actual value. For instance, the condominium we currently own is valued by the county at $170,000 but when we look it up on www.zillow.com, it's value is $196,000. Which would we go with in order to come up with the 80% offer?

Thanks!
