Harder and harder to find properties there with the new announcement of the Toyota/Mazda plant-- brought in a lot more investors pretty fast.

Hi so for as long as I can remember I've always wanted to invest in real estate but never thought it to be a reality for someone like me until a friend of mine recently introduced me to the bigger pockets podcasts and after listening to a few episodes I started to realize that even for a guy like me that comes from a background of no money can make it if only I put my head to it so I've decided to start by getting my real estate license since that's something that's constantly brought up in the episodes but have no idea as how to obtain one. any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated tia  

If the REM is her son and I can't find him how can I approach this? 

Once I take a deeper look at the numbers and inspect the property I will have to figure out the best approach for financing.

I just finished meeting up with real estate investors in a workshop where they say they can teach me everything with a down payment of 20,000 . not happening. however, they brought up a way to kill debt faster and wanted to know no communities input. has anyone paid off debt faster and cheaper by moving an amortized loan into a simple interest credit card?

How do you approach deals with this kind of uncertainty?

Is this a wise approach?

Would it be possible to get a commercial loan on it and have it valued based on the income approach if it's in an LLC?

Hence, I would start with the seller's P&L, normalize income - by adding/deducting and modifying revenues/expenses - to make it more reflective of reality (or your expectation or reality) and then use the income valuation approach. 

I'd be prepared to answer those questions and I'd probably approach someone that you had a personal connection or referral to first.
