Hello Bigger Pockets Community - I went to the Bigger Pockets Conference in Nashville as an aspiring investor and returned as an inspired investor! 

Currently have one duplex with aspirations to buy more in the near future.

It’s more appropriate to write that the majority of private/hard money lenders can or will only make business purpose loans (which can be owner occupied).5) The most important advice I can give to any aspiring lender is to only loan locally to experienced flippers and only to those you’ve personally met and gotten to know, like, and trust.

@Mitch SmithHey Mitch, That’s very impressive and I aspire to connect and create a team of mine soon as well.

I'm a aspiring investor that has been sitting on the sidelines for far too long.

Hello I am a Realtor here in Cincy and also aspiring investor.

My wife and I are wondering if it makes sense to add a spiral staircase to one unit so they have a fully private unit top and bottom and no shared area.

They use that information to help you know the best places to apply and in what order.I am curious what is your aspiration in terms of credit.

We're excited for our first property and aspire to buy several more in the next few years.In the capital district, to my knowledge there are not many meetups or events for local investors but I do want to net work ,collaborate and potentially partner with other investors especially people who own in Troy.

It's written to investors and aspiring investors.
