It isn't all roses out here. 

You'll also likely want a relationship with another smaller local bank who can help fund the deals quickly.Carson Bank, Vintage Bank, Rose Hill Bank, Union State Bank, Stock Exchange Bank (Ark City) are a few of the smaller local ones I know would be able to act quickly and wont screw you on closing costs.I've personally used Carson and Union State Bank (formerly Relianz)  - Have spoken to Rose Hill and Vintage about their programs however have not ruled out using them in the future.I'm sure there's a few other smaller banks I've left off, but going off the cuff those are the ones I remember.

I was in your shoes and I contacted MANY Realtors here in Florida.

I don't know if the tenant is wearing smooth-bottom slippers or something, but I don't think we can tell her what shoes to wear.

Every area is a little different, YMMV.If I'm in your shoes and can wholesale it for a quick profit, that's what I would do - lots of downside risk based on things you'll learn with time. 

Don't listen to the negative thoughts in your head about your age, experience, shoe size, eye color, etc.....Just Do It!

I have been in your shoes before.  

Banks historically wouldn't lend more than 80% of the value of the home, but as home values rose, it became tougher for many borrowers to come up with enough cash to do 20% down.

I'm looking for my first rental in palm beach county and hoping to be in your shoes soon 

Would you take it in my shoes?
