Will a Lender let you do the rehab work yourself when using a 203k rehab loan if you have years of experience in the construction field?

Fortunately, REI is an expansive and varied playing field and there are many ways for many different types of investors to be successful.

I have know numerous police officers that have been investors/landlords.

I did this because I have aspirations to invest internationally in several locations in central and south America and didn't want to just talk the talk or be a wantrepreneur, rather put myself in the field and put the building blocks together myself..I am currently waiting for the CA Bureau to approve my license application so I can take the test to receive my RE license (completed the course work in Spring of 2018 while going to school full time, working part time).

My company manages numerous properties in the area, mostly north of 42nd street, with one being a tri-plex on the 3900 block of Central.

CREI is an exciting strategy to get into since it provides more scalability and leverage than any other field of RE. 

I bought my very first apartment building without an agent or realtor or any mentor or help from somebody in the field . everything I knew was from books and online forums self taught .
