@Paul CamutoYou will have to put in your own money into syndications if that’s the root you want to take.

I called three banks and what I found was that they were more willing to talk about properties in their town and also willing to offer small loans on these properties.The root of my problem was that I was calling big bank Bob who had no interest in spending time on such a small loan in an area they could care less about.

Given that I live overseas, move around relatively frequently and work for non-US companies (and thus don't get W2s), I've found that the big banks have little interest in working with me despite a great credit history, good, stable income, roots in the US, etc. etc.

This one is going to be close for you to make money if you have to take it all the way to the end.Good luck, I'm rooting for you.

Statements like "...drop in vacancy of 6 out of 8 tenants over night..." are big red flags for me and may be the root of the 'better asset class' comment.

A big crash needs to be pretty rooted in our economy.

Would you get a root canal done by someone who is not a dentist?

He has good material to help with mindset and building wealth.I'm rooting for you!

I am rooted in my personal reasons to have this goal and am SO excited to see things through.

The major concerns where I feel we have leverage are 1) the roof needs replacing-there is wind damage 2) there is a slope towards the house which needs correcting (we think this can be fixed with a French drain) and 3) there is a giant tree right by the house with roots visible to the slab.
