My family owns a commercial construction company in Indy that focuses mainly on office buildings, however they are extremely talented and have resources and ties to almost everything in the construction industry.

My primary long term real estate goals relate to truly sustainable development and rehabbing superfund sites and to have a portfolio of properties that I can leverage to give my tech companies talent acquisition and retention teeth for employees. 

Odds are likely any agent performing leasing is not experienced & or highly talented as experienced agent's don't typically work for low wages.

Even though wages are much lower than the US, all repairs done can cost considerably more because of lack of material and talented labor availability.7.

The same sleezeballs who whine about "having nothing wrong" and not getting their $750K bonuses and about the "loss of talent" in the big banks.

@Nikki Cervantes From another Sac investor, welcome to BPCruise through the Podcasts, especially the newbie podcasts and see if any of the strategies jump out at you given what talents/resources you have.There are a couple RE investment associations around to network if you are interested.Happy Investing and Happy New Year!

There is traditional FHA Financing, Hard Money Financing, Portfolio Lender Financing, Private IRA Lender Financing, JV Partner Cash - Credit Financing, all different.And you can buy on terms without traditional financing, such as sub2, land trusts - selling beneficial interest, contract for deed - installment sales, lease options, lease purchase, wraps - aitds, etc.It all depends on your personal talent and deal making abilities.

I just recently purchased a home thru seller financing (my second one I think im developing a talent for it) this home has a value of 30k when the reno is done it will bring in decent rent for Baltimore City (900 to 1100). 

We did it the "easy" way with a talented real estate agent, traditional investment property financing and we're hiring contractors for the rehab because we both work long hours. 

I have read a few books on real estate and believe I could put my talents to work in this business.
