Just looking for some opinions and advice from those more experienced that I :)So I have been listening to to the podcasts for over a year now and am moving to an area where I want to start on my real estate dream.

But if I can get an FHA now i would be able to jump start my REI dreams.

Hello everyone,So are the 30 year rental loans at decent rates advertised by companies such as Lima One or Lending One actually 30 year loans or are they really 5 year terms with a 30 year amortization?   I've read a ...

This is a mechanism used to make sure general partners are aligned with the limited partners, but are not a good indicator of your true return, so I wouldn't put too much weight on this.

After years of sticking with a job I hated and saving up enough money to feed my family for a little while, I decided to quit my "safe and stable" job to chase the dream!

These aren't issues that are specific to flipping and should be a primary focus for any real estate investment - The bottom line is that you made a profit despite the challenges you faced - and congratulations for that - but it seems to the bystander that you gambled with another investor's money while investing very little of your own - you put yourself in the position of a teacher or mentor when in fact you are not extremely experienced in the business of flipping - consider how you would feel if you lost a portion of your partner's investment....Today I am closing on the purchase of my 15th flip for the year, and I wouldn't dream of taking on an investment partner who wasn't equally experienced and had an equal say in the decision process.Good Luck with your future projects and Happy Investingjeff 

My dream is to buy distressed properties, rehab them, rent them out, leverage other people's money to scale up, and hold my properties forever - basically the BRRRR strategy that @Brandon Turner and @Joshua Dorkin teach.I'm glad I found Bigger Pockets - a great resource.

find a great deal and a great team and it's a breeeeeeeze  Preach, the teamwork makes the dream work lol

My wife has been very supportive of this dream as I've begun to jump into it and our three kids are a good motivator to plan well for the future.While I currently live in California, this is my sixth state to live in, so I've gotten to see some vastly different areas of the country and intend to start my investing career somewhere cheaper than San Diego.

If you can dream it you can achieve it with massive action and determination.
