There are four main ways that I recommend: Appraisal reports, comparable sales, tax cards and national averages.

Traditional bank loans might not be in the cards just yet due to your income history, but don't let that stop you.Enter the world of hard money lenders and private money lenders.

That's the business that I just was approved for an Amex Blue card. 

I am in debt with mostly good debt, a little bit of credit card debt.

No need to have major debt just by having at least one credit card and using it often will help you.

Consider getting a credit card or doing other responsible actions to build credit if you don't currently have any.Note that the secret to real estate investing is patience.

Prime interest rates, or the rates the government lends to banks, affects what rates banks can lend out their money at, as well as many credit card and other rates that are based on it.

It's a slow but steady way to do itHey Caleb,I'm 23, and I think if I play my cards right I could have a few rental properties cash flowing by the time I am 30, but I need to be patient and do my research so I can play my cards right.Thank you for reminding me that patience here is key to ensure I don't jump too hastily while trying to secure the "best" deal I can.  

So we just make sure we always send a coffee card to the closer as a thank you for their extra effort. 

If you had the ability to control your credit card interest rate and you had a ton of debt, wouldn't you lower it?
