My name is Rachael Harmatz and I am an aspiring Interior Decorator and Real Estate Investor. 

Do you have aspirations to grow as an investor or are you only exploring the idea because of this one opportunity?

On paper it looks good, but in a real life scenario projections might be different:-the third R, refinance could be possible if good credit and debt to income ratio are satisfactory...since many aspiring investors are far from that, what are the alternatives?

Where would we be today as a country of aspiring achievers and believers if our forefathers had waited. 

Have fun with your aspirations in Norway!

However I always tell students and aspirants alike that if you find a good deal investors will readily find you.

Hi @Aimee Orozco check out some of the advice I gave to another aspiring investor: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/496755-trying-to-get-my-real-estate-career-started Hope this helps a bit!

I can build a relationship with the listing agent to get pocket deals by letting him know that the profit margins are not appealing and dangle incentive carrots for him to do better.I get my feet wet in numbers for that niche marketI can continue to build a great relationship with my builders by showing them initiative because they are who I aspire to beGrow my network of buyers because they know other builders in thier category and betterWhen I have receive off market deals, they will know I'm definitely an asset because I save them even more.What do you think? 

Please continue to be a positive example for other aspiring investors!

Interview a few and see what is a good fit for your buy and hold aspirations.
