I have been able to take my real estate portfolio to a level in which i really didn't think possible and educate myself on so many things not only in real estate but in creating wealth throughout the power of networking with others that have experience and proven track records in other types of businesses.

It is not your credit score but generally better credit will result in a better score- Time at your job- Education level- time at current residenceGood Luck & feel free to PM me if you have any questions. 

The less you "do" the more you have time to educate others.  

But it would be good if you understand how this is done just for your education etc.  

Pull your tenant-landlord laws for your area and arm yourself with as much education as you can about being a first time landlord. 

Just to give you an education on the market -  the price of a good investment home in Phoenix is around $400K. 

Build a strong team with experienced lenders, real estate agents, and property managers, and educate yourself through books and podcasts.

Offer to do his inspections for free in exchange for some education on how to find, analyze, and fund deals.

I've been on this platform for many years and, over the years, I've seen new members linked or part to Mexican real estate agencies posting educational content about investing in Mexico out of the blue shortly after becoming new members and then disappear as they realized that their efforts wasn't giving them the amount of business they were hoping for.

I’m also an active member of the local landlord association in Joliet (JRLA), which has been a great resource for networking and education.
