I've been reading, analyzing, and wracking my brain to come up with a set plan of action for rental buying, but the numbers just don't seem to work.

Man that was nerve racking.Ok guess my lawyer didnt skip town with my money after all...

You need to examine yourself and decide if such investments, and the accompanying potential for lost sleep, are appropriate for you.Jon

So I finally have decided it is time to at least take a long look at investing some of the money I've been saving up for investments...

Here is my situation:
39 years old living in sf/bay area.

Super stable job earn...

The major question I have, is how do you get past the 1st time nerves?

If you read the SAFE Act, you'll see that regulators can come in an examine the broker's business.

Lots of sociopathic personalities out there,, however at the end of the day buying rehabbers is not a highly complicated business as you state LOL, I must have the same algorithm hard wired in my brain along with my lie detector eye balls, I certainly got my share of liars and embellishments, but none were funded, maybe it's my cynical nature, maybe a bit of human intelligence gathering from my Army intelligence days, could be the old examiner days that sound off alarms, might be prudent lending practices that made me so lucky, maybe all of it together just didn't give those types a snowball's chance on a hot stove of getting past me, since it never happened with my money or my client's money.

Just because it's family doesn't mean other things can't happen where the loan could be examined and disqualified as an arm's length transaction.The note isn't filed, in the note stating the payee, you could say Mary Jane Smith and Tom Smith (H&W, Tom Smith brother of Holder) and I don't know if same names are involved or not, it's not necessary and it could draw other unwanted attention.

Then examine the market for that business, if it's a good location now go to those . businesses and talk about expanding their business in your area.
