Basically I saw real estate as a vehicle that could deliver me to  the life I want to live, the business ventures I want to pursue, and the lives I can affect.  

Hello, new here and really looking to just kick the tires.

Most realtors worth their salt are already going to have investors they are working with, you need to establish yourself as a mover/shaker in order to get a realtor to actual do work for you.They only get paid if you buy, and there are WAY more newbies who kick tires than close deals. 

Thinking about going pro so I can begin analyzing deals using the calculator because I’m tired of talking about it..All the Best,Anthony

We are currently negotiating on three properties and will hopefully have a couple under contract soon.Also, I have to add...when I left their office to drive back to the airport, my rental car had a flat tire and without even hesitating, both Joel and Scott jumped in and changed my tire in record time (photo attached).

Some of the typical problems when kicking the tires when contract. 

require $500,000 liability coverage for your STRprohibition of renting out a tent on your land or a recreational vehicle on your landI've only skimmed through it.

Tired landlords, divorces, problematic rentals, probate, foreclosures, regulatory issues, etc. 

After using Wells Fargo for my last two properties that I’ve successfully sold for a profit, using conventional loans, it is taken me almost a week to get from the same person I’ve been talking to for the last two houses to tell me that yes, in the security vehicle a.k.a. the mortgage there is indeed one line that says that I intend to occupy the house for one year. 

I got tired of working for the government after making too little for too much effort.
