In a sense, BP certification ensures everyone is on the same sheet of music. 

I've also been investing in my future through song writing and producing for 8-9 years.After seeing (from experience) that music royalties are going nowhere but downhill, I decided to invest my money and time elsewhere.

I also produce house music and DJ in nightclubs on the side.

I still feel that there is going to be a 'financial' correction in the near future as we approach $20Trillion debt and I am unsure of what financial instrument I want to own.

If you do this a few times a year it creates a pretty good income until the music stops and you have earnest money at risk.

This community has been so instrumental in our investing journey, and in my growth as a real estate agent. 

The only concern is any debt instrument that may end up being used. 

Mortgages are the customary security instruments.

I am new here, and I just wanted to quickly introduce myself.A few things about me:I have lived in Nashville my entire life, aside from this last year, which I spent in Portland, Oregon.I am completely new to RE Investing, but I am very interested in multiple types of investing, and real estate is a priority.Real estate has always been around in my life — My mother has been a licensed real estate agent for nearly 20 years, and she now works at a prominent staging company here in Music City.I have some software/programming/web development experience, and graduated a programming bootcamp at the start of this year.I have always been success-minded, and right now I am focused on growing my knowledge of investment in both real estate and the cryptocurrency/stock markets, as well as diversifying my income in general.Feel free to drop a comment and say hi!

These institutional lenders are always in a third party situation, a seller /buyer and lender/borrower are not in that third party relationship.Use a Standard Deed Of Trust or Mortgage security instrument and ensure the note actually conforms to that security agreement, like "applications to  principal", "payments required" "insured losses" and "costs of collection".If you can't afford, or if your deal doesn't carry itself applying conventional financing requirements, then it's not a deal, even if it is seller financed!
