, i heard mixed reviews on kaplan, but I'll check out real estate express.

What does the insurance policy in dollarslook like for that mixed-use situation?

@Bruce MacSome of my favorite markets are those with job and population growth mixed with affordability and city revitalization.

@Sara Tavares sorry to be so blunt but i'm seeing mixed results on different replies.Given that your a week into the program, Do you regret paying the money for the 3 day seminar? 

We look for things like motivation and willingness to learn.One way Experienced Investors judge to work with Novice Investors is to see if the Novice Investors prove their motivation.Novice Investors Posting that you would love to meet Experienced Investors and hoping that the OP of this thread will pick up the reins and coordinate a group meeting with a good mix of both Experienced and Novice Investors will only demonstrate to Experienced Investors that they will probably not want to work with that particular Novice Investor(s).Although I'm breaking a rule by pointing out to Novice Investors a simple fix to prove their motivation, I just have to say it.When you don't have much to bring to the table AND you wish to network with Investors that bring a lot to the Table, then you have to use what is in your power to attract those that can benefit you.

Hi BP,I have found a fairly good opportunity and turnkey rental being sold by landlords looking to retire. The only problem is I am having trouble financing it. The overall cost is $75k and it is bringing in $1550 mon...

Leasing to the second store would hurt the first one and would reduce the diversity of the tenant mix. 

Worth noting is that one loan that defaulted has an issue with the title: PoL says that the escrow company recorded the mortgage "later than expected" resulting in 2 senior liens, which they expect title insurance to cover.Compare that with RealtyShares, where I also made 14 investments (a mix of debt and equity).

The only one I've looked into thus far is Tom Wheelwright's company ProVision Wealth, and I have read mixed reviews on them.

We are still West which is a mixed bag.
