Hey All, I have a friend who needs help with rehabbing a property in Curtis Park Historic District in Denver.

I found this deal from my friends parents who live directly across the street.

Going to start by checking into local REÍ meetups and talking to some friends and family that are doing what I’d like to.

At the price point you qualify for, I'd be looking at a more landlord friendly state with more approachable price points.

Hey @Matt Agnew I would get a friend or someone who knows you to lend THEIR IRA money to YOUR IRA.

@Paige Corsello...You could call your bank contacts and find out if they are broker friendly.

Quote from @Carlyn Chism: Please share lenders who are low credit score friendly and or hard money lenders that are easy to work with, e.g. won’t tie your money up in draws. 

I remember working with a friend who inherited his aunt’s home.. he got so caught up in the emotional side of it that he forgot the nuts and bolts..like having a good plan for the renovation budget and timeline.

Find a good lender, get pre approved, make sure you practice running the #'s using the 100's of videos and guides from BP, find an investor friendly Realtor, and then start making offers on any property that meets your goal.
