Hi Junior, I'm in Atlanta, but I have sold properties in Macon, Ga if you every need any assistance.  

Our job is to provide you assistance. 

I currently assist investors in diversifying their portfolios with turn-key SFH's. 

Start anywhere—offer to assist, intern, whatever it takes—and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

Also for conventional financing, the DP can't be borrowed.

Others may argue that higher rates are bad as it drives up their borrowing costs. 

There are also some benefits to leverage such as tax breaks that lowers the effective cost of borrowing the money.

Ben Franklin used similar advice to turn an enemy into a friend (although his was asking to borrow a book).There are some caveats here, you cannot be wasting time thus you need to demonstrate that you are taking action. 

That's awesome yall are assisting with lending!

@Chinku Chinku the rich get rich by making their money work for them.They borrow at one rate, to invest in something that returns a higher rate - they profit on the difference.Only you can evaluate your risk tolerence though.
