I grew up there, so I have some familiarity with certain neighborhoods.I don't have a lot of capital, but I have an extremely excellent financial history with a high credit score and very low DTI.Time to wrap up, don't want this post to get too long.I'm looking forward to interacting with all of you on the site, and here's hoping I can make this work with your help.Thanks,- Ray

Be sure your numbers are calculated well, and base the anticipated value off of performance CAP rate, and you should be fine.

I'm Asperger's, which means I was born without the "bones in my head" which help us relate to and interact with others.

@Eddie Salisbury@Russell BrazilEddie, please see my comments above you.I really hope everyone who is accusing me of being shady would just understand that I'm anticipating conflicts of interest and I want to talk to Brokers before joining a Brokerage to see how best to handle a situation can possible happen.I AM NOT A SALESPERSON YET.
