I have lots of experience in all types of single-family investing, small partnerships in multifamily and commercial, and a vast knowledge of construction.

For what you are trying to achieve you'll want to stick to the suburbs and a few choice neighborhoods on the West Side of the city.

If you're looking at Miami, let me know, about 30%-40% of buyers here are foreign and a lot of them get loans.

Just remember, it's a challenging journey that calls for commitment, determination, and a mindset that's open to growth.

But more for you so that you are not left with a lot of money out and a loophole for the other partner to get out of the agreement and not have anything to go after them on. 

I'm happy to share my experience as both a flipper and a lender.

I was 17 and a half years old! 

They can sometimes be more open to funding niche investments like mobile home parks, especially when you’ve got proven cash flow and a solid plan.Another option could be talking to your uncle about seller financing.

I have a house that’s a long term rental upstairs and a medium term downstairs.
