You may need to tighten your belt to try and save up a little money from your part time job.Would tenants take you seriously?

Do you have any properties under your belt already?

Hi guys,I have 5 properties under my belt, 2 long term rentals and 2 vacations rentals, and my house a part time VR. 

My biggest goals for 2016-2017 are to find a mentor and have a income producing property under my belt.

The other thing to be aware of is that the bank (on a conventional loan) will not apply the rental income from the first house to their DTI ratio until they have about a year of rents under their belt.

The Rust Belt is knocking off the rust.  

Many people who have a lot of deals under their belt and a treasure chest of experience.

In order to work with most crowdfunding/hard money/private money sources, they want at least two deals under your belt in order for them to trust you.  

By that time, you'll have a couple years under your belt to prove to lenders that you have experience investing in RE, you have reportable rental income to support your expenses, and that your small business is not a liability.

I’m really starting from ground zero.From a near-term goals standpoint, I’d like to get a wholesale deal under my belt before the end of 2016.
