If there isn’t a system in place, I will work to fill in those gaps to systemize and continuously improve that system, until it it is 100% efficient.Currently, I am in my researching and educational stage.

if that fails, arrange to stay with a friend for a couple of days with your belongings in a YouHaul.

I'm at the setting-up stage for a new business in Real Estate Investing.

Consider yourself in the preinvesting stage.  

For an early-stage sponsor, the best audience is your inner circle of family and friends because they (hopefully) already trust you.

The speed with which you develop each stage of your plan will flow from then, right?

Could I ask how involved was your process of investing, how much did the RE agents help in all the process (finding properties, negotiating price, arranging inspection, paperwork, legal, etc) or was it mostly work you did on your own?

@Ian Ray - I'm not sure of the agreement/arrangement you have with the broker, but might you be able to try to wholesale one or two of the properties to then have capital for the third?

I agree that pretty much anything above $500k is guaranteed to cause some financial pain (at least in the early stages).  

I’ve found my first property, am in negotiating stage right now.
