The very advice we were giving small operators a year ago will be out of date in January of 2014, as the rules promulgated by the CFPB in the last couple of months have added to the burden of those engaged in lending on manufactured homes to consumers.Come January of 2014, using an MLO who is not your direct employee to originate loans for you to avoid licensure both as a lender and as an MLO will no longer protect you - if it ever did.

Second, stay active on the site and engage the community with your questions.Will Barnard

Welcome to BP Nation John, glad you decided to engage the community.

I am hoping to engage more with the community (and contribute where I can) and think of our real estate investments like a business.We live in San Jose, CA.Our first investment is in East Bay where.

I look forward to engaging in forums and asking questions of the community.

You need to know the right people, actively engage them and keep going at it to find the right deal.

I've also enrolled in a real estate licensing course in an effort to learn more about the business.This website seems like a great place to share ideas and network with others who have similar goals, I'm looking forward to engaging with all of you!

If the answer to that question is "nothing" or isn't something significant, I'd suggest that each of you invest in your own (smaller) properties individually and work together to provide moral support for one another and strategic brainstorming sessions.

School is in session!!!

WARNING WHINNING SESSION TO START: (Break out the violins) Every time come up w/ an idea to try to get out of the rat race there's always some weird rule that get's in the way.
