Now I spend my time making sure new investors entering the market do not make the same mistakes my wife and I made. 

He even provides a service to help you find the right one.

I know you don't have money for a downpayment yet, but when you do, rent out rooms or buy a duplex or triplex and live in one side and rent out the others.  

Thanks for the info, I just went to my first RE Meetup over the weekend and will be attending this one as well.

The only ones that will pay are the same ones that would have paid when you filed for the eviction.

A hands-off garage conversion ADU is over $100, even doing much of the work yourself, it will be much more expensive than your estimate.Single ADU additions in single family zoned areas are typically one of the worse re investments. 

One point on a $50,000 loan is $500.

One person works for a well known home builder. 

Very few allow any subordinate financing below their note but I do have ONE that allows 90% CLTV (they loan 75% and allow you to secure a 15% seller carryback as long as you come in with 10%). 

It definitely can be done, but it takes more time and more investment per deal to hit $500k fees.Its also a much, much smaller network.
