Right now I'm trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can from school, RE books, etc, to try and gain a competitve advantage.

All of my horror stories invlove carpet soaked in animal urine.

The only thing stopping them from doing this is soaking us up for more money and when the gig is over watch what happens.

Actually, I was planting the seed for a more ambitious plan.

That ould give you plenty of seed money to really expand your business.

Mother Nature says to us what fool is this that brings me his need and plants no seed?

Yes, you came to the right place for all the knowledge you can soak up.

I know I'm not the only one out there driving (or walking) the neighborhoods, eager to soak up as much "free" information as you'll put on here.

I was thinking HML due to maybe using that $$ short term to buy another property and turn it quickly.I have a lender that will not require 6 month seasoning and will do 65% LTV, but I could also do conventional and do 70% if I am willing to wait 6 months.I guess I am anxious to get going on the next venture and was looking for other ways to maximize this seed $$, if that makes sense?

Been soaking up a lot of knowledge over the last 6+ months and I feel ready to get my feet wet with investing.I have been in contact with a few REO realtors in my area but nothing so far in the area where I want to invest.
