Your ability to connect with them on a personal level matters more than your offer.Think about it:  • The “Used Car Salesman” is only focused on closing the deal as fast as possible.

Personally, I advocate for a long-term investment strategy and would recommend investing the funds, provided you are comfortable with the expected return on investment over time.

Even if you personally have just a modicum of design aesthetic sensibility, after reviewing 20 or 30 properties, you will quickly be able to get a sense of the winners.My 2 cents,Mike

Be prepared to follow up multiple times, using different forms of communication—calls, emails, and if possible, in-person visits to their office.

This person (not Blake capital) was trying to bully me (wrong move).

Personally, I think this company is probaby about to go out of business - they have lots of inventory, and it's not exactly prudent to be investing in FL in the coastal areas now anyway.  

Barbara Isabel is a great person for LA as well as her investors focus on multifamily construction options.Basically, if you are looking to invest in CA in any way, you need a solid amount of capital to even think about it and then you will still probably decide on somewhere else.

With a Conventional Loan you can buy a SFH, Duplex, Triplex or Quadplex with as little as 5% Down if it is your primary residence as long as you have the intention of occupying one of the units for 1 year after closing escrow.This is the strategy I have personally implemented and have assisted many of my investor clients in doing the same. 20% Down is also beneficial as it keeps your payment low but it does limit your ability of buying more real estate faster.i would be more than happy to discuss the different strategies with you over the phone or in person.

@Sonya Sharova I haven't personally done Frank Rolfes boot camp but I have heard it's great.

Are you able to go there in person to build your network?
