Fantastic! Will do! Rooting for you from NJ :) 

This is exciting because I've been thinking about the same thing but more for eco-friendly, modern dwellings for lower income families. This is a dream of mine so I'll be watching for your updates!

Good luck.

Thank you all so very much! The advice is deeply appreciated!

@Salah Siraj sounds ideal! I will PM you.

Hmmmmmmm! Very good advice. So send a total presentation to an investor/client on a deal I've found and hope he is willing to do the deal with me (and not snag it for himself). I think that's my fear that I'll get cut out of the deal unless I go through someone I trust like family...which means working on their timeline and under their conditions. And that's brutal since no one in my families knows a thing about real estate. 

You don't recommend taking out a loan/hard money? @nicolas 

awesome! And we are both with KW. Very cool. Thank you @Account Closed

Hi all,

I am an investor-friendly agent so I spend my days showing properties in dire need of repair and as a designer, I am jumping for joy over all of the POSSIBILITIES I see in these potential flip deals.

But as an agent, I'm sending them to my clients. I want to be the one FLIPPING these houses and making a difference in dilapidated neighborhoods but I don't have the financial backing so I just feel like a kid in a candy store with no candy money. Very sad!

What do you all suggest? I see all of these ads for hard money lending but I don't want to apply for anything and take a hit on my credit score which I have been dutifully rebuilding after a divorce a few years back.  

I have access to deals as an agent. I have an extensive background and education in design. I have a commitment to rebuilding communities in my heart. I just have NO money for investing. 

PS: I already talked to my family about investing in real estate and although they like the idea, I don't see it happening anytime soon or in an organized manner. 

PPS: I have been "studying" REI for some time now through BP and in person at the SJREI meetings. I'm full of information. I just need the moolah but I don't want to make a move until I know the best route to funding my first deal. Any advice is appreciated.

Welcome @Wendy Hutchins! I too am sorry for your loss. I just lost my grandmother whom I was very close to. I want to create generational wealth through real estate and took my mom and brother on a tour of possible investment properties over the weekend. I'm posting tips and emailing info to my network about how they can invest in real estate. I just want to lift the stress of poverty...even though most of us are middle class, we all grew up poor...and create more freedom in our lives so I can totally relate to your mission.

I'm wishing you the very best!

Thanks @Account Closed! 

Yes, @Michael S.!! Done! Can't wait to see what I discover. And that guide is my next read! Thanks guys! Have a great weekend! 

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to the BP podcast. It's what I listen to on the treadmill, long rides, and anytime I need inspiration and knowledge about this vast new world, which is almost daily. It lead me to this website and I'm excited to connect with investors in the area. Any tips, recommendations, meet ups, etc, please holla. 

Best,

Terina
