very interested in how is hacking. My wife and daughter and I I are moving to San Diego area. I would like to find duplex triplex four Plex. Live in Juan and rent out the rest. Love to hear more on this topic and how to go about accomplishing this goal.

I have recently decided to get my real estate license. My family and I are moving to California next year. I am currently in Wa.state. I am still wanting to become a real estate investor, and am frustrated because I haven't any money to invest. I have  listened to a lot of the podcasts and read the books. So I am going to get my education as an agent/broker. Still going to get there some day. Thank you all for your encouraging stories. 

Well I have made a list of names of people I would ask for private lending. I am having a hard time around the language to use. With some people I would just bring it up in casual conversation. Should I be direct with them or casual? defiantly need help on this I don't want to blow it with a potential partner/lender.

I am working with an investing co. and am using their hard money lender. they will lend 80% of the deal and 80% of the rehab. my question is, can I use another hard money lender to fund the rest? or should I find a private lender. I was told That I would need $35,000 to get started. Please give feedback and suggestions.

I am a newbie and have gotten together with a hard money lender/ investment co. They will cover 80% of the deal and 80% rehab cost. now I need to come up with the 20 20%. I have some people I can talk to about private lending, but not quite sure how to initiate the conversation. Any sugestions?
