When I started as a lender my focus was on being of service to the veteran community as much as possible.

What I mean is that your deal has to be awesome for someone to be willing to front ALL the money - and for that service you will pay ”a pretty penny” as the phrase goes. 

Simply owning some investment real estate does not make one a real estate professional anymore than owning some stock's makes one a Stock Trader....To qualify for real estate professional status (REPS), you must meet the following requirements:50% test: More than half of your personal services must be in real property trades or businesses.750-hour test: You must perform at least 750 hours of services in real property trades or businesses.

There are always 2 sides to the story so it's nice to see when the service or product provider can show proof, etc...As you have seen with me first hand over the last few weeks.I've always believe in learning from mistakes and only blaming myself when $#@% hit's the fan.There is enough free content available online for everyone to study.You will only truly learn when you start doing.Thanks

This way, I can tailor my services to find properties that align with your investment strategy.

I ask because I regularly see service members who will be stationed at both buy somewhere in between(like the Pensacola areas off of Davis Hwy / Scenic Hwy / Near UWF or in Milton near Avalon Blvd). 

Going interest only will allow you to achieve a better debt service ratio too. 

Just curious how others here have handled learning about service dogs last minute?

Appliances and fixtures were old and tired.Basically, the core bones of the property were good, but there were a lot of things that seemed ripe for easy improvement.The location was great, right next to the town’s primary commercial district, with a grocery store 100 yards away, coffee shop/bakery, Post Office, drugstore, hardware store, hair and nail salons, barber shop, dentist, bank, a half dozen restaurants, and a variety of other shops and services.

@Joe Derobertis @Jason Stiteler - Hey gang, i'd be happy to connect y'all with a guy I know that is having success in the Rome market.Rome is just outside my service area, but I do deals in Cartersville.
