Building a real estate portfolio might be attractive, but if you're crunched for time, perhaps you could do private lending in a SDIRA or get into syndications.

Real estate is so localized that most federal based policy changes don't have massive influence.I can see him (semi-)privatizing Freddie/Fannie.

Looking for help and suggestions- I want to say I have learned my lesson and now know to use a third party to hold funds.This is my first time working with a private lender/family member.

This simple conversation changed my future.

I have a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath and was thinking of rooming 2 together since I know a private bathroom is a must when rooming with a stranger. 

In our still relatively limited experience, seller financiers are usually looking to get a higher asking price in exchange for the favor of the private loan. 

Let the agent know that while you’re interested, the property’s condition and local comps don’t justify the asking price.Taking a warm, conversational approach can make negotiations smoother and improve your chances of getting the deal.

Also makes private lending easier.

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

I'm convinced that making tweaks to my BP profile along with actually being a multifamily investor myself contributes to my lead conversion success.
