I'm looking in both LA and out of state, although OOS seems a little bit more tangible at the moment (trying not to get paralysis by analysis).

The advice to clean up your finances before doing this is well grounded.Lots of gurus promote real estate investing, especially wholesaling, as a quick and easy path to piles of cash. 

You’ll want to factor in your promotes for putting the deal together as well.Now, the seller may opt not to accept your offer if you have to raise the equity (depends on the seller and market), but it’s worth a shot.  

I can't promote myself a FL Mortgage Broker on this site, so instead, if I were you, I'd look for something like a Stated Income ALT investor loan in the mid to upper 4% to lower 5% range on a jumbo loan at 75% ltv on a 10/10 arm, 300/240, no escrows and no PPP.And remember, use other people's money to make money!  

I Kno it's possible because I figured it out, I had to be more vague because the first time I posted this, it was taken down for "promoting". 

With real estate, ostensibly, you own a house, commercial building, apartment complex, land, or some other tangible asset.

The biggest problem is those that promote the activity that don't even realize their actions are illegal.

Think about teaming up with a Mortgage Broker to share the cost - it can be a win-win for you both.You could promote a seminar for home-buying to bring people in.

I've actually been promoted at work to include Business Development and have been put in charge of marketing.

I’m pretty sure we can’t promote here on the forums.
