BUT, in finance, in mortgage brokerage arrangements, "investor" means your own money, not your uncle's money, not your buddies money, not borrowed money, your money.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

They are two young professionals with money, they have extremely high demands, they "know already" because they talked to their "xyz professional buddies already." 

I had a buddy who missed a small clause once, and it turned into a bit of a headache.. better to catch those things early.Speaking of attorneys, in Eugene, from what I've heard, Thompson Legal specializes in real estate and has helped a few folks I know navigate the local regulations smoothly.On the CPA front, having someone who gets the ins and outs of real estate can make a world of difference come tax time.

@Jeremy TaggartYou seem knowledgeable about Pittsburgh…I have a buddy who has a couple hundred doors there (single family and small multis) he deployed all his cap a while ago and has done well there.

Mortgage assumption can be a smart move, especially with rates where they are.Funny enough, my buddy Mike over in Austin ran into a similar situation last year.

Couple buddies of mine from the Bay Area ended up investing near Sacramento (better price points than the bay). 

Dallas-Fort Worth is a smart choice, man the growth there is off the charts, and there’s plenty of room for first-timers with the drive to go all-in.I remember helping a buddy of mine who was in a similar boat to you, he was switching from a totally different career and diving into real estate.

My name is JJ and a really good buddy from my church guided me to this website.

That being said, if you are still looking to sell I have some buddies with VA loans who would definitely be interested.
