I am back after a few years hiatus.  I am a realtor and work the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.  Looking forward to networking with all of you again!  What are you all seeing as the biggest road block to acquiring properties in the current market..?

Expireds and FSBO's are always good! Every time I get consistent with calling, it pays off.

The Dallas-Fort Worth market is strong!  I have had a few deals drop, but I have had just as many reach out to buy or sell.  So I have hardly noticed a change in my business.

Just pick up the phone and start calling people.  Talk to as many people about real estate as you can each day.  Learn as you go.  Don't get stuck in the procrastination trap because you don't think you know enough.

I am looking to buy my first rental.  My question is the financing.  I am a realtor in business for 7 years.  6 of those years were part time real estate.  I went full time about 10 months ago.  I was making around $100,000 per year from my full time job and averaged around $40,000 per year from real estate.  Now I am real estate only and in 2019...year to date I have made around $80,000.

Is there a company that will finance a rental for me?  Since I have gone full time and don't have a W2.  I know I need 2 years self employment taxes to prove, but since I have been in real estate 7 years, can they use my past full time income to help qualify?  Your responses are highly appreciated!

How is this going Wayne?  I have been thinking about doing the same in my area.  Did you have to get approval from the city?
