This will likely be my first of many deals and I would love to start a working relationship with a lender or broker sooner than later!

If I need to close sooner I tap my unsecured line of credit they gave me. 

I wake up at 6, get to the sites, go to meetings, come home at 5 go to the gym, come back at 630, shower, eat, and by the time I sit down to do emails, marketing, instagram, mailers, BP, it's 2 am and it's time to sleep for a little bit.

If not, I'll deal with it - I should have pressured the repair person for the invoice sooner, so that's a lesson learned there.So in my case, we'll see.  

@Mike Ventura I'm so sorry I didn't address your question sooner, It never came through my notifications. 

The earlier you start investing the sooner you can make money.

I want to buy & hold sooner than later but if I'm using other peoples money- how could I get a return on investment?

Took a quick drive to Meyerland - the gym I use was destroyed (24 hour fitness) but people in the area are stripping their floors out and a number I have spoken to are hurt...but still in good spirits.

Be sure to mention you are an investor with more than one house so you get good pricing.It may sound silly, but this event happened for you, not to you and the sooner you can find a way to see it that way the  better off you'll be.  

The location is great, and it is tucked away nearby a main strip, so easy access to gyms, restaurants, movies etc..
