I have lost my entire life’s savings from losses upon losses endured in 2015 and 2016.

Using so much leverage, you are at a break even and I hope you can endure hardships.

Others, however, are somewhat in the hole due to enduring a big capital expenditure that they weren't expecting, ruining any hope of future cash flow gains.

If you have the necessary capital, maybe explore Fannie Mae's HomeStyle Renovation loan to only endure one closing.

If I don’t hear from you in the next 10 minutes, I will assume you aren’t attending and I will move on to my next appointment.Using this system as dramatically reduced any wasted time I used to endure as part of the showing process as well as giving me data about their timeliness/responsiveness/respect for others' time.At the showing, I collect their completed application (sent via PDF prior or filled out on premises), scan their photo ID and last 2 pay stubs.Then, I do some digging around online (social media, court records, Google) and if it looks like they are representing themselves to me accurately, I contact them to set up a "contract to hold" meeting - usually the day after the showing since qualified applicants need to be "closed" ASAP.

@Steve Vaughan don't get me wrong, I loved working with my patients, and I felt like I was "making a difference", but it was not enough to endure everything else that the Health Care system, Corporate, and the Government throws at us.

It seems that a lot of the younger crowd are determined to never fail, as if that were too painful to endure.

My name is Lou, I am looking to create enduring business relationships with local Title Companies who are investor friendly, those who could assist me with closing business transactions, how familiar are you with what real estate investors do?''

The problem with this is that the property might be in such disrepair that no one will lend you money on the property, or you have to come in with too much down payment, too much rehab costs to endure the process, or etc.In WA,  we have a program called a two step loan.The Two step loan is in essence a Private/portfolio/hard money loan to acquire a distressed property that provides your rehab costs as well.

I can't believe the craziness we endured!!!!
