I just started off in the market searching for knowledge, I would appreciate if you can give me some advices, thank you! 

I've worked with some Canadians buying  here in Ohio.Indeed, rather than selling your stocks to fund investments (and lose out on any potential price appreciation and dividend payments, as well as incurring capital gains taxes), a nice alternative is to borrow against some percentage of the holdings.You would start with the brokerage where you hold the stocks and see what their loan program looks like for the account you hold. 

Here’s what I have so far:Downtown San Antonio (78205)King William Historic District (78204)Pearl District (78215)Alamo Heights (78209)Southtown (78210)Leon Valley (78238)Stone Oak (78258)Tobin Hill (78212)La Villita (78205)Helotes (78023)Heritage / Far West Side (78245)I just wanted a broad list to start with areas that could fit the bill.

I think when you start you need to make sure you work with people who are reliable.

So I am starting the loan process over again, for the third time.  

Start with the list criteria that will put you in front of likely sellers.

It jumps out as rather obvious to me.

And Point of Sale, don't even get me started on that Communist BS. 

That is why I jumped into the biz.

@Melissa Sejour Its a great question we all had starting out.
