Hi @Samuel Garnatz, welcome to the forums and congratulations on taking your first step.

I just completed my 20 hour course for my Illinois Mortgage Lending License and the final step is taking the state exam.

Retaining your current home at a 2.875% mortgage rate maximizes cash flow, while accessing $65K in equity provides liquidity for your next steps.

And this is why I'm trying to take the necessary steps to correct this poor behavior and joining this platform to get some input/knowledge/guidance/advice.

I actually go 1 step farther though and do velocity banking and investing at the same time. 

I couldn’t even get them out of the home once the lease expired and Nomad would not help guide me in what steps to take or Colorado laws. 

There's no step by step guide but there are key things : Learn: RE strategies, what interests you, what do people in your area need.Connect: find a mentor, accountability group and be around those doing what you want to do.Help: solve problems- do people need dealflow, property mgmt, construction expertise, etc. 

Here is some information that may help you smooth out the last steps for new acquisitions and loan officers that may not yet know your services.

Managing maintenance requests and working with property managers can be tricky, but it’s great that you’re taking steps to refine the process and educate yourself.
