The amount of regulations are enough to make a person sick!

You're in a major metropolitan market so there's a way somewhere to get it done...provided the numbers are right and your income & credit are solid.Beyond that, you can always keep the unit you are in and seek another unit with owner financing....where someone is sick of it or is retiring.  

Plus I follow the guy on social media and he is just as plain and boring as the next man except you can see through him that there is money to be made in real estate.

I've always been interested in real estate as my dad was a general contractor for almost 30 years (I spent many a sick day, summer vacation, or earning a few extra bucks on the job site with him) and my grandfather before him built large commercial structures.

As my story may relate to most, I have quickly grown sick of the dead end 9 to 5.

It's funny how media can twist the truth.It's always best to pay attention to the experts and just plain numbers.

Well long story short he asked for $1000 deposit leaving a balance of $2200 we gave him a check for the deposit, I asked him for an invoice and he hand wrote " $3000 plans $200 site $1000 deposit" on a plain white paper, I wrote in the check number with date.

As technology becomes more sophisticated there are those folks that will be evermore confused and have all the more reason to need the services of a trained ProfessionalPlus there are those like me that just plain would rather pay someone to do it if I'm not quit sure myself.

Plain and simple. 

I held that license until about 2 years ago when I was sick and my wife did not know what to do.
