There are newbies out there that are willing to put their heart and soul into making something happen buy helping in what way they can you just like I said have to screen them.

I'll take a 1800 building in the heart of Manhattan over a 2017 building in downtown Austin any day...

For the park I just purchased the lender required me to have $500K reserves and that's after putting $2.1mm down to buy it.Yes, you are in over your head with THIS particular park.If you can find an EXPERIENCED equity partner that can show a history of successful park operations of similar sizes and use that relationship to build your experience portfolio that would be the best scenario if your heart is set on this park.

But I know without a doubt that Real estate investing is where my heart is!

I appreciate your help Malcolm I am more interested in commercial than a va I can get va in heart beatI would have done that already I have enough connection on residential side to make anything happen

Hello everyone,  I am a real estate agent located in the heart of the Silicon Valley in Santa Clara, CA.

Institutional investors do this all the time in prime markets...they will pay top dollar, with a clear highest and best vision.Certainly not for the faint of heart, but in some ultra-competitive markets, faithfully sticking to a conservative approach and rule-of-thumb numbers often leaves investors sitting on the sidelines, frustrated and empty-handed.

I think this guy is a great person and he's proven to me time and again that he has a wonderful heart.  

Not doing it yourself is hit and miss, some agents look only for a heart beat other actually know what they are doing when it comes to screening.
