Then, I joined the MMP Union and while I was on the ships I studied how to Invest in Mutual Funds.

This is a business arrangement not a friend ship.

Then once the rehab is complete I would have 18 move in and the ship would set sail if that makes sense.

forget about investing until you have capital the no money down and have no money is just bunk you will waste an inordinate amount of your timeyou want in real estate.. study real estate get a license then get an intern ship with a good RE company so you get paid to learn or go to work part time with a top producing agent. .whatever you do learn the craft and do =something that makes you money first.. then when you get some capital and reserves then start investing..  

People that truly got dealt a bad hand of cards, and are trying to "right the ship" will be perfectly fine with this.I know there are mixed reviews on credit repair, but I did it personally for clients as a mortgage broker before the amount of people got too overwhelming.

Look at deals that make you go "ship, I wish I would have bought that"then call and find out if it may fall out, lettnem know you are interested if it does, see if they will give you an idea when contingencies are up and keep following up.

Right now a mentor ship for you would be electives or books and a part time job in any way in the real estate business.

Hi Bryan,I think you've gotten a lot of good feedback and if taken objectively, it could turn your ship around this week.

If you are talking about spending around 50k in materials, most stores will ship anything free for a minimum of 2k order.

I understand I will be needing an affidavit to prove they have legal ownership ship before I can buy it from them.
