Currently, I am working to save for the costs associated with launching a career in real estate.  

@Derek Carroll  I think this is a great thread as BP is dominated by those that are trying to launch first time ventures....

I have seen instances where they pull utility bills, find out they are in someone else's name (because it's being rented) and launch a fraud investigation.Regardless of what a lender says, make sure you only use that second home designation when you plan to use the home for yourself.

So I always knew that I wanted to make money in real estate but never really realized that my first deal would be my own home ;)Now I want to take the money I made on this deal and launch maybe a wholesaling business?  

Launch a venture cap/ private equity firm that invests in people who are solving major world problems.2.

We will launch the VR forum as soon as we have somewhere in the ballpark of perhaps 50 high quality forum threads that our users have identified as appropriate to be moved to the Vacation Rental Forum!  

Wishing you a great launch and continued success in your business.

The best I could find was this from the FAQ:"In 2017, we are expecting to launch new investment opportunities in communities including Cambridge, MA and the five winners of the Neighborly Bonds Challenge – Austin, TX; Somerville, MA; Burlington, VT; Housing Trust of Silicon Valley and Lawrence, KS."

A tip i have for you is to do a "google drive for dollars" punch in a street address on google of a target area you can see yourself getting deals in then use your mouse to walk up and down every street you may potentially have interest in make an excel spread sheet of the properties once you have a large number of properties on your list that you would like to target i would send their property addresses to a skiptracer and then launch a cold call campaign reaching out to these sellers a minimum of 7 times over a period of time this will make you real to them and they'll take you serious if you continue to followup with them.

Hi All,I've spent the past 3 months working for my Uncle's wholesaling business in Arkansas and am now in the beginning phases of launching my own in Chicago.
