What would be the best way to go about talking to a real estate agent? Should I tell him upfront that I am looking for properties to invest or should I just talk like I am looking at the property to own and live in? Warmest Regards, Matthew Fragassi

I recently came across a gentleman named Tom Krol. He's a wholesaling coach. He led me to Claude Diamond to use lease purchasing as a way to gain some capital before I started wholesaling with him (Tom). 

Has anyone ever heard of either of these men, and if so what was your experience like? 

And I am not familiar with lease purchasing, what does that entail? 

Warmest regards,

Is this property still available? 

That's awesome! A nice problem to have :-) If you haven't read the "4-Hour Workweek" yet, you should give that a try! It has a lot of great tips for handling that kind of situation.

Awesome Webinar! I never would have thought of investing in an apartment complex until I was firmly grounded in real estate investing. Well, I just changed my mind! I am very excited to start looking for and analyzing some apartment complexes in this area! If anyone else feels this way and would like to partner up, let's get it done! Happy investing everyone!

Thanks everyone! 

I appreciate all of the information. 

How can I tell if a hard-money lender is legitimate? 

And what should deal structure look like to know that I am not getting taken advantage of? 

Thanks!

Even if you have little or no money you cannot be afraid of failing or messing up. In this business the only way to get better is by messing up a little and truly learning from that experience. It sucks, and it's not fun but in the end if you stick with it, put the work in and keep grinding you will succeed! Do not let fear of failure hold you back. 

Action creates motivation! Just start doing it and you will see that it's not as hard as you are making it to be in your head. 

My advice is to read as many books as possible, listen to podcasts (BiggerPockets has some AWESOME ones) and listen to audio books to limit your mistakes. 

We live in the Information Age! People did this stuff long before the Internet and before people cared enough to write books to help others. All we have to do is take advantage of the knowledge passed on to us and keep pressing forward! We have no excuses to not be successful, it's all mapped out for us. 

Just START! 

Good luck! I hope that ramble helped a little. Haha.

Hey BiggerPockets Family!

I am Matthew Fragassi. A new investor in the Central, PA area. 

Read all (most) of the books, listened to hours or podcasts and audio books, and now I am ready to get going. 

I am very excited and ambitious about starting this endeavor in life and starting the next chapter. 

Well, if you want to know more, don't be afraid to message me! 

Warmest Regards,

Hey BiggerPockets! 

I am a new investor looking for any help/guidance I can get at the moment involving financing. 

I am looking for someone who would be interested in being a partner or cash investor for SFHs/MFHs and/or Apartment complexes in the Central, PA area. I tend to like multiple unit investments to limit the risk of not having any cash flow from a property and having a property become a huge liability. 

If interested, please get in touch with me. At the least, we can have a decent conversation and be able to learn from each other and have a connection for future deals.  

Best Regards,

Matthew Fragassi
