We are 100 strong and 90% women.

Which is why we've decided to fully embrace our home state. 

I live in Wakefield, RI and work for Embrace Home Loans, a National Direct Lender in Newport, RI. 

However, sooner or later every one of them (both men and women) requested a payment of "origination fee" or "wire transfer fee" that amount anywhere from 300$ to 3000$. 

Being a women and a Virgo, organization is very crucial.

Most valuable lessons learned here since I've joined:-zero tolerance for late rent- getting in to properties for regular inspection (recently found 3 inadequate and/or clogged AC filters-Getting all of our properties up to fair market value-I am looking to embrace a regular HVAC maintainance contractor (between all of our rentals and personal properties we have 13 HVACs so this will represent a large yearly expense (yes I know it prevents potential major repairs later but I have engineering experience and have watched these guys come out to "maintain" the units and rarely do they clean any inside and never outside coils) and it seems like they essentially check the freon charge and change filters.

Her's are geared more for women, but still inspirational as well.

I have been through many of the Rich Dad series as well as a large number of real estate books.In all of my reading and self study, I have come to embrace the concept that I need to lay out some sort of goals.

And some of this newly found gentrification is going to get rolled back pronto when the next recession hits, based on the wet-behind-the-ears generation that's so enthusiastically embraced it. 

For that I am great-full to all The men and women I served with.After purchasing my first rental property I was researching REI and stumbled across BP.
