Most of my time goes towards watching youtube videos, following my mentors who range from agents to brokers, and cold call.I want to eventually fully commit myself (leave my 9-5pm) by 2018.

I try to detach emotionally from a deal or least stay committed to my "do the numbers work" spreadsheet which gives me everything I need to know on one sheet of paper.

Then, next time, when a new underwriter reviews all your docs, she figures out that you committed mortgage fraud last time, and your goose is cooked - and not necessarily just for this next mortgage, but forever.

Unless you have an existing relationship and very LONG term track record.. this is virtually impossible to find .your best bet is an EQUITY partner.. to match up to the 70% LTV or LTC HML your going to get to secure the asset.DO not GET SUCKED into those that will tell you they can do it  just need to send them a few bucks up front.. those are pump and dump scammers.. which are very prevalent on BP when you ask for money.DOHARDMONEY in Utah will do 100% but they charge 3 to 4k up front.. and then a due diligence fee etc etc.. with NO gurantee they will fund your deal.. mixed reviews on them but I have heard they acutally can close a deal.

I am pretty new here and wondering if any experts in this forum can give me some help on this question:Recently I was looking at a REO auction property, the bank has already taken the title and it was bid on Auction.com with a reserve price.In the documents they put upfront, there is a Title Commitment from First American Title.

In the past month that I've listened to the podcast, I have transitioned from tentatively considering real estate investment to fully committing myself.I began as an unwitting investor in Detroit when my girlfriend (now fiancé) and I moved there to buy a house in the property auction.

My experience in dealing with brokers from a lenders perspective is that the best brokers provide there services; however many do not and just act solely in their own best interest trying to make as much compensation as possible on each deal with the least effort and time commitment.  

Are they committed to staying in this area?
