I am particularly happy with both Freda Davis and Brittany Gamble who encouraged me and assured me that I could be successful as a real estate investor.

I live on border and was going to expand my wholesaling into the towns that are on the IL border - Lansing, Lynwood, Steger, and Crete.

That means, I would be gambling on the NOVA/WDC appreciating, but never a gartunee.  

That would have been my gamble had I had the money and pulled the trigger.

Hello BP,My name is Derek and I've recently moved back to the Buffalo, NY (family is from here) area after spending the past decade across the border in Toronto.I'm in the process of getting my 1st property, pre-approval for my Financials are set, and I will be looking at properties starting this Sunday (yes, sacrificing a football Sunday, so you know it's serious!

Particularly on the Maryland side of the border, the state of Maryland no longer allows agents to be involved in the negotiation process with the bank....this has dramatically increased the degree of difficulty in getting a short sale through.

I have a one page cover sheet I add to each application with check boxes to show that they have the "deal breaker criteria", a section to score the "nice to have" criteria, and a section to briefly explain my acceptance or rejection.Our Criteria: Complete applicationVerifiable rental historySufficient income/resources to pay rent and liveCredit report showing prior addresses consistent with application We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals:convicted of manufacturing or selling drugsconvicted of a crime the poses a threat to the property or neighborhood, including repeated disturbances, gambling, prostitution, violence, threats of violence, or rapewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.who misrepresent information on the rental application

the proverbial ink isnt dry on my last acquisition---which was my first ever---but i am willing to take a gamble but the significant other is having second thoughts.thanksvijay

The bank doesn't care whether you lend the money to a LLC or whether you go to the casino and gamble it away - they do care about getting paid though.

Or would I just be gambling?
