I think he's in the process right now so I'm not sure how it's turned out, but last time I spoke with him it seemed that it was going well.I always tell people looking to do co-living that there is a certain amount of risk that you have to be willing to take on.

There are people on here (BP) that say "you don't need to pay for education".Well, not only are they wrong!

Also, I’ll be in the area for the next two weeks and would love to connect with people in person.

One thing to note when getting conventional mortgages and spouses.There is a 10 limit per person for conventional financing.You can either do 10 conventional in each person's name which would be 20 mortgages for 2 people or if you do the mortgages jointly, will only allow 10 in total.My thoughts are not to own joint assets until you are both married. 

The guy I signed up with basically knew nothing more than me filling out the application. 

I am interested in meeting people from whom I can learn more about real estate investing. 

Definitely looking to continue building my network and meeting new people and continue learning and growing. 

A mentor ship program is how most people do it.

At it's basic level:Assumption: Asking the bank to turn the loan over to you and going through the normal underwriting process, credit, income, DTI ratio etc SubTo: Taking over the loan without telling the bank, no underwriting, no credit check, no income verificationBoth have risks, but it's not my intent to be detailed in this post.

The last 5 deals I bought were all basically move in ready, bought only at a slight discount after deals fell through.
