Ya'll if you are trying to do a deal where you need a lender for an earnest money deposit, you're a tool who's got no business putting somebody's property under contract. have done these for clients that have needs for 100k to 250k EM.. but your right if U cant scratch 1 to 5k together .. then I would not want to be in that transaction.

Purchased several rentals and grew my portfolio to over 7 figures and now I'm helping my clients do the same.

Anyone promising you overnight success with passive income is selling a dream, not reality.One of my clients got sucked into buying a “high cash flow” Section 8 property in a different state because it sounded like easy money.

One lender hit one of my clients that I was doing a JV with... for 800 dollar property tax monitoring fee.. really on a 12 month loan.. but what happens is borrowers just focus on the points with no clue to the junk fee's  or using brokers who add fee's and points on top of the actual lenders fee's again bait and switch.Did your client pay the fee or did he blow the closing? 

I did do business with fellow in Charleston SC.. and he paid 100k for training.. when at lunch one day he stepped me through it, he did a deep dive.. this guy only took on 7 clients per year and it was a year long process.. and the clients had to spend a lot of time at his offices for hands on training..

He called them stocking stuffers, because the client would file those pages away and never see them again.You would not believe how large a small return would look like with these printing options.

I hunt down projects for my clients and yes we do get project costs sometimes under 70%, lowest I seen has been 58%. 

I've had clients with house fires, pipe bursts, etc.

I deal with these kinds of questions from potential clients who are unsure because they don't know me that well. 

I travel a lot to all my clients back east so I do get out to fine dining on those trips..
