Hi @William Taylor, As an agent and investor, I have a few suggestions. 

@Robert Ok If you are a beginner, I suggest do not join a coaching program yet.

Hi Pat, I would suggest seeking work through a Brokerage as an administrative assistant. 

If I can make a suggestion...Yes with 3 points you might be able to get into the 6's - but let me give a quick example:Let's say loan amount is $250k and making some other assumptions, paying 3 points down would cost $7,500 however that might only save $195/mo. 

I have done it multiple times and always suggest it as the best way to start.

I had a couple of people suggest to me to sell my appreciating Bay Area SFH so I could acquire more "doors" and theoretically "cash flow" more with OOS properties.

If it’s going to be more than the one day loan we actually structure it the same as a regular hard money loan.if it’s a true double close, process is super simple.

Since I work pretty hard at my day job and don’t have much renovation experience, I wanted something simple—a rental I could put a tenant in and at least break even.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Your situation is a little more complex than most people and I highly suggest you consult an attorney.
