That is hard to do in one year with minimum renovations.Be sure to line up all your ducks before you pull the trigger.

True seller financing means you're taking title and that would trigger the "due on sale clause". 

The podcasts are a great start and give plenty of ideas, keep learning and stay consistent so you will be able to pull the trigger on your first deal 

I've seen some very smart people over think deals and miss out big where I was there ready to pull the trigger.  

@Franky Davis congrats one pulling the trigger.

When established in the correct order the Land Trust doesn't trigger the same red flags with the Due on Sale as the direct transfer of a deed into an LLC, and the Land Trust can be created in such a way that your name does not have to appear on public record for the property - you can have your attorney sign for it as a "nominee trustee" until it is formed and then have it pass down to you after the signing is complete.This is a much more flexible system that works at large, but if you can find a bank that works direct and favorably with an LLC that is generally a bit easier (though your name will still appear on public record for that property.)This isn't legal advice, just my opinion as an investor.

I don't say this to be harsh, but real estate is one of the fastest ways to throw money away if you don't know what you're doing.

I need to know how to pull the trigger on a property and I figured figuring out how I was going to put up the money is my first step in.

Read read read save save save it'll build confidence to.. have some money put aside and then pull the trigger...

Hello everyone,This is kind of a weird question but my fiance  and I will be attending our first REIA meetup this weekend and it occurs to me that every businessman I’ve ever met says you must have business cards at networking events, and we have none.Now my first thought is, we haven’t made our first deal and are still planning to pull the trigger in about 2 months, so it really feels sorta presumptuous to print off business cards which say anything real estate related.On the other hand, having never really been to a meetup not related to my day job where I would totally have business cards, I’m unsure if it’s really bad etiquette not to have them.So my quick poll is, as people who have done this way more than me, what do you guys think?
