Quote from @William Causey: When choosing a private money lender, how do you weigh the importance of flexible loan terms versus fast closings?

Then focus on improving your interviewing skills to help you build a solid team on the ground wherever you do choose to invest.

This was my first property, and while it's been a great learning experience, I made several mistakes along the way—ranging from choosing a realtor who was more focused on closing the deal than finding the right house, to having a poor inspection and overlooking issues hidden beneath the surface (literally).

Wise is an international bank that allows you to deposit and display statements in whatever currency you choose.  

There are dozens of platforms out there to choose from though - so not just pushing that one - it's just the one we chose.

I Joined Jeromes Buying land and building homes program back in 2019Heres my opinion on my experience....First and foremost He offers two different programs. a 6 month program and a 12 month program.BOTH PROGRAMS ARE EXACTLY IDENTICAL THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS:You can choose to have the weekly mentoring by Jerome once a week for 6 months or 12 months on a zoom call and you can have access to a private networking group of real estate professionals whether that be (realtors, contractors, brokers, Private/Hard money lenders, loaning institutions, Surveyors, Engineers, Zoning Board members in different municipalities, pretty much anyone you would need to get a project completed) for either 6 months or 12 months.6 month program will run you $5,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $2,300 payment every 2 months totaling $6,90012 month program will run you $9,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $3,000 payment every 3 months totaling $12,000I decided to join the one year program and chose the payment option as i figured within 6-8 months i would have my 1st project completed therefor my last two payments would essentially be covered by the return on investment from that project.PROS:The group is really a family oriented space where you meet a vast variety of people from all types of background throughout the country and other countries that are doing business just like you.

If you are starting this is an approach that assumes more risk tolerance.

There are more listings to choose from now than any other time in nearly a decade.

I will not use the equity from my personal residence to invest in real estate, sure it can make more money but its just my level of risk tolerance.  

I ma here to learn and I will not pick and choose how those lessons are presented to me!
