I want to start investing, but a huge hurdle I'm not sure how to overcome is how to manage my $100k+ in student loans..Currently I'm on a 10 year plan, paying $1100 a month.

With international students this could present a new challenge to overcome with a cosigner, but something to figure out.  

I'd steer clear of this type of area until you're more experienced unless you have some other particular advantage that would help you overcome the additional risk.Some of the inner ring suburbs (including Lakewood) are popular on both the east and west side areas, though you'll have increased regulation from the suburban municipality government and increased property tax burdens to deal with.Since you're local, I'd deploy capital in an area you are (or get to be) familiar with first hand, and use that list I provided as a starting point for areas to familiarize yourself with.

IMO, neither should be doing business as they use to.Advantages to a buyer; some credit issues can be overcome by providing time for credit to be improved, usually an issue.

We can anchor inside of us the success part of overcoming difficulty instead of attaching to the anxiety and stress.Learn and grow >>> that's the ticket :>Congratulations on solving the problem!!!

This community is awesome for helping overcome bumps in the road :) I've hit many, that BP has helped me work through.

My goal to overcome the lack of funds is to find joint venture partners.

If you can come up with a solution that overcomes those objections, then they will either sell or come up with more objections that you could similarly overcome.
