Depending on your area there are usually a few big players that have a lot more money to play with than you.

I missed some huge opportunities in my 20's, because frankly, I was too busy chasing girls.

My success has been due to being in a very niche market with few players that do much.

It'll cut down the time you'll spend chasing a buyer and give you more time chasing the deals (which is where you make your money).Good luck!

Hi @Chase Loeb.  

Present your qualities and chase after your dreams, and i promise you will accomplish everything you want in life. 

I work in an area where there are a lot of hail storms and I also chase storms so from an earning perspective I am able to go hard for about 4-6 months and make my money.  

To check on the tenant and the house weekly to make sure the boyfriend didn't just move in or the adult kids just move in, and that bad things are not happening in your house or that your tenant didn't just move out in the night in the middle of winter and turn off the gas, but not the water.For my $15,000 which my IRA is looking to invest, I am going to get to know the major players in my market or any market.  

As I have less than a month at this point to refinance and not pay the extension, should I keep looking for private money or lenders with high upfront points and chase the higher 75%-80% LTV, or pay the extension fees and cash out at 70% LTV with fewer fees and lower interest rates? 

I know this is a complete different path than what I have been striving for these past couple years but as I chase down financial freedom, I know that REI is the way to go.
