Personalized advice given from years of experience can really accelerate your business.

Definitely open an LLC if you haven’t done so already and once you have a couple under your belt, you will have lenders lining up for your business.

The best way to grow your business is to help people and give solid advice in the forums.

Having the seller carry a second is not a problem for the first, as long as their business with you is finished and the loan has closed.

I live in Phoenix and my business partner and I put on a couple local forums for investors like yourself to network.

(Not as part of my consulting business, just as an opportunity for me to learn and perhaps build a relationship?)

It's a business - acquiring/building, managing, and growing a business. 

I have found enough business and made enough money not to need to expand outside of this market.Section 8 is a whole different ball game but I find the program is unique in that it's a 3-party relationship adding the variable of a government agency.

It's just the cost of doing business.
