Loan officers with 25 years of experience typically are more experienced, and have less time per file, because they have an abundance of files.Loan officers with 25 months of experience typically are less experienced, but have more time to devote to you.I can't write my own loans, so when I'm getting a loan I prefer working with less busy people when I'm doing my own real estate investment, they're more responsive and dedicated it feels like.

Be honest with them if that is what you are doing though so you don't waste their time if they are busy.

New people should learn to fix stuff, do leasing themselves and grind it out so they understand the business.   

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

You're a business owner now nothing wrong with that.   

-22 years old-$50,000 pre tax income from business this year-80k in savings-30k in investments-pre approved for $350,000 (had to use parents as co-signers because I started business 2 years ago and didn’t make much first year)Looking to get into first house by house hacking a 4 bed 2 bath renting out 3 rooms.

I'm not sure if we can do business together, but we could certainly chat and see.

To support my seller and seize a valuable opportunity, my business partner and I decided to purchase the property ourselves.

Quote from @Kody Smith: without getting too deep into my finances, what my strategy is...1. take loans to buy properties (leverage)2. fix/flip for day to day cash flow income3. use some of the fix/flip income to buy consistent cash flow through:- business acquisition, - commercial properties (MF and store fronts),I have no intention of doing ALL of the management myself, I will hire management as needed (medium term goal)my expected core role is money provider, evaluating the numbers, making decisions, and connecting with investors, wholesalers, lenders, contractors, and property owners.while I am just on step 2 of the journey, I am looking toward step 3 to stabilize, and not worry about if house prices drop mid project or not (or not worry as much) So to be fair this is more about obtaining and growing a real estate business not simply buying rentals for cashflow.

Flipping is a production business.
