Up until this point, my primary focus has been on generating a handsome handful of leads in and around the Little Rock area (one in particular seems quite promising) but have yet to action anything.

I've been a member for years and have profited handsomely from their advice.  

How to flip houses, by MSOOTKAUG the handsome!

...and that's exactly what I would do with a "deal" like this - I'd sell it to Rich for a handsome finder's fee and then find a good deal for yourself (one that actually makes money)!

I am 36 years old a mother to two handsome boys and a daughter on the way, November actually.

I would say that yes, your lending background should help you understand the environment and give you an upper hand, some insider knowledge.

My name is Andrew, a current investor/blogger looking to start building my assets and reducing my liabilities (I'm fresh off the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad")I currently work at a company that offers a very handsome "homebuyers program" which offers about $30,000 to be allocated towards the purchase of this across 10 years of "bonus money" (which becomes taxable income) ($7500 upfront total and $2500 for the 9 years after) allocated to employees as long as they meet these three conditions:1.

I go in mid deal and get a paltry 10k to 15k consulting fee while they make 6 figures for the same work.I usually mention they can get a commercial attorney and pay them to help them out of their situation.When a broker has built a successful model of doing things a certain way it can be a bad idea to change and lose focus.I also have clients ask If I manage property and I decline that, along with finding retail tenants to execute leases, being a fee developer on construction projects for owners or raw land,etc.I stay focused on transacting existing properties with income and then syndicating my own deals as a sponsor where if I am doing a ton of value add work I will be rewarded handsomely for it and not just getting a small commission.You can always ask your agent friend but this is just how I would see it but everyone is different.

Some of them you can turn by hand; some you need a regular adjustable wrench (Crescent wrench) or pair of pliers; some you need a T-handle wrench or "water key" that the hardware store sells. 

Why thank you Benjamin, you are clearly as wise and brilliant as handsome, with many leather-bound books and an apartment that smells of rich mahogany!
