Rates will be in the high 4 to 5%-6% range (depending on buy downs) but this allows you to scale and affords other luxuries (entity vesting option, short seasoning, etc).  

I'll find someone else. 6) Good work, I don't do $2 Million dollar mansion bathroom remodels for a cool $600,000.

@Beth BarnesInvesting OOS long distance is more difficult at first, forces you to find your “Core 4” one by one and you are force to learn quick sink or swim turn key I would imagine is easier but you’re paying a premium price for that luxury..

Water front mansions, no show highly paid board member positions in America and places like Ukraine.

I personally see it as a luxury.

As I pursue my goal of becoming a lender soon, and eventually owning multi family, vacation rentals, and luxury spots for up to 500 people, I'm wondering what I should consider doing that I'm not yet working with. 

I have some experience in sales and negotiation as I spent some time in the automotive industry doing luxury floor and internet sales.My research has led me to believe that one of the most accessible ways to begin would be to start out wholesaling.

If you have the luxury of being able to work from anywhere (I work downtown, unfortunately) you should check into the surrounding suburbs of Dallas, I've heard it's easier to find workable deals there.

Some buyers and investors in the high-priced and luxury markets seem hesitant at the moment.Looking forward to reading the other responses on this... thanks for starting the thread!

At the time, I was a digital marketing manager and luxury real estate assistant (licensed out of CA) working out of North County for a great agent.
