I became interested in real estate after being exposed to it while completing my MBA.

According to an article from MPAMag.com, lender’s profits have been affected by the high costs of compliance that have been mounting since 2008.According to MPAMag.com, “Production expenses in the third quarter were the highest recorded since MBA began keeping statistics in 2008.”These high compliance costs are passed on to the borrower and have substantially increased the overall cost of borrowing.

Ever read Too Big To Fail, http://www.amazon.com/Too-Big-Fail-Washington-FinancialSystem/dp/0143118242 The real thieves are the MBA, Mortgage Bankers Assoc, allowing liar loans to be created, not overseeing mortgage brokers, The Senate Banking Committee not policing the MBA's policies and training, and not allowing felons to talk home borrowers about mortgage origination.

Having recently resigned from my position as a credit manager, I'm considering real estate investment as an potential career change.I have a BBA and MBA, both in finance, and 20+ years of experience in the energy, technology, and mining sectors doing everything from treasury to financial planning & analysis to M&A integration, which I expect to be helpful in deal analysis.I currently have a fair amount of capital to get started, though some of it has to cover living expenses until I can generate positive cash flow.

I recommend Andra Zachow Salveggi, CPA, MBA.

I have a full time JOB right now, plus i sell websites for my own company, write essays for college students, knit scarves, mow lawns, advertise, sell chilies, and work on cars to add extra cash flow to my pockets. i don't care about making millions, its not my ambition nor my desire. i simply want enough to live the life i am designing for myself. a life where i can travel once a month, learn a new language, taste new foods, master some skills, and be on adventures with the people i love.i have zero experience but i am willing to learn. i want a mentor or a person who can guide me and teach me everything they know. i absorb info very fast an am very positive in my approach to life.

I am still in some educational programs (phd and mba) and the employment contract with my university runs out in 06/2015, which might hamper any attempts to secure a traditional loan.

I finished my Bachelors degree, found a low level management job, and recently even completed my MBA (while foolishly going into debt to do it...I know, I know, at least it isn't a huge crushing amount of debt).

My day job is System Engineer/Administrator and I'm very knowledgeable in IT matters, I also am currently in an mba program.

@Amanda Hoening  I'm a proud parent who's just finishing up my MBA with a healthy amount of debt as well.
