I was born in Lawrenceville, GA and have family up in the north east mountains.

The good part of this is that it's a pretty good job, so it will allow me to have a fair income/cash flow to put towards investing.Otherwise, I'm a quick learner and fairly good with finances but I'm not bringing anything to the table in terms of knowledge about construction/building/renting/etc. 

In instances where a buyer wishes to use HUD financing (which does the loans directly, rather than going through FHA, in most cases), the buyer is almost always forced to use a "bridge" loan or close all cash at closing and then put the HUD loan on later in the process.Sitting on the other side of the table -- yes, I would want more money for the headache of dealing with FHA red tape, too.

But after speaking to mentors and brokers, I realize that I need to strengthen my background and experience before I am taken seriously when I ask for a seat at the table.  

BP has mountains of information for you to absorb and learn.

I have 8 doors in Mountain View that cost me $210k each back in 2013 (2 four plexes).

Here is the definition of MAGI: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p925/ar02.html#en...Here is a quick table to calculate MAGI:https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-se...

So lets assume that optionis off the table and that I will not look to sell these properties either. 

In all cases, I sit on the same side of the table as my partners and our interests are better aligned ... if they make more money, I make more money; if I lose money, they lose money.
