Would you be able to mentor me through my first deal ? 

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Stay patient, something will come up that makes sense.

Shoot me a message and I’ll share the deets.

Trust me, everyone of them will ask "wheres the closet in this room?" 

Main hurdle is the VOM.

You don't want to lose your rate on the house you are living in now unless you want to sell it so since that is an owner-occupied, you need to stay there and save up the 20 percent for the second property based on what you said.

I think understanding that will get me more accepted offers. 

Second, don't get hung up on what if's.

Both of these avenues have worked for me as well as meetup.com
