Small collections can be ok especially medical or student debt.If someone has had a major credit issue like bankruptcy or foreclosure just make sure there is a plausible story.

I'm new here I have been in outside medical sales for 15+ years but always had an interest in making money in real estate but have no idea how to get started? 

With in 5-7 years I would like to be able to financially stable, that is to say that at this point I can cover all living expenses as well as be able to be able to purchase a car, or new appliances, or cover medical bills, all without having to worry about if I'll enough money to eat that week. 

There is one part of the property market Barrack said he still likes: self-storage facilities, which require little capital investment and don’t show any signs of slowing demand.

Currently I am a parking operations manager and I manage several parking facilities in the downtown Tacoma area.

I am 59 years old now and I found BP about a year ago while medically recovering.My father has been in real estate buys and sells for about 45 years and he has taught me a little bit.  

I currently work in the medical field, but I want to start investing by years end.

I am interested in single family rentals and building and renting a storage facility.

I also went to college, not that it is mandatory, and I got a business degree that emphasized real estate while recovering from a medical priblem.  

The key is knowing if a national or regional tenant would want to go in there.Larger spaces I have seen entertainment complexes, workout facilities, churches, indoor trampolines, outlet stores, etc.Additionally you can take a large space and cut it up to lease to multiple tenants at higher rates per sq ft.
