Hey @Chris Jerome welcome to the site!

@Chris Jerome , I am an experienced real estate investor (10 years experience and have done a lot of deals using various strategies like wholesaling, retailing, lease options, rentals, shortsales, apartments, land, etc.) and now I am also a private lender.

Hey @Robert Powell thanks for jumping in and introducing yourself!

@Jerome Stratton welcome to the site.

@Brandon Powell , I would be glad to discuss your situation over the phone, the complexity of your questions are beyond the scope of this forum.

Hi @Jody Powell ,The two things you need to look for in a deal are equity and motivation.

I also have about 350k equity in my own personal house but didn't really want to go there for now and would rather use the rental properties themselves.Only thing is credit isn't stellar from some stuff that was years ago but just the same it dinged us some and I believe we're under 700 score right now.Thanks and anyone you could recommend that might be in the Corpus Christi Texas area would be great.thanks, Jerome

Hey Jerome,I would also suggest a smaller firm, especially if you are focusing on becoming/working with investors.

Regards,Mike Powell
