.- Originally from Texas - The general strategy, in brief,  is to accumulate a portfolio of small businesses and real estate with operations capable of servicing their own debt load, consolidate, pay down debt, rinse and repeat. - I've done personal deals but only recently have taken the leap of starting my own company and moving to make this a full time thing. - Target primary market is Texas and specific areas in the mountain west. - What else would you guys like to know?

The owner of the 18 units was consolidating with the intent to buy them all... but ran into #19.

I did ask her if she would allow us to use a contractor of her choice to make repairs and install baseboard heaters if the home is still available once we get the credit issue resolved.We are getting a student loan consolidation.

The plan is to consolidate some bills and purchase another house to flip or use as nightly rental airbnb type.The house is appraised at $250kWould love to hear any and all comments and why or why not to go a certain route.

I was thinking I would consolidate and refinance my loans into a lower interest rate first and then pay down the loans since it'll still take me a few years to pay them off.

Seems they are private money lenders looking for business and I wanted to get feedback on the opportunity they provide (especially with consolidation).
