As far as what I do, I am a funding specialist and work closely with real estate investors to raise capital tax-free by using a specially designed holding account that grows your money between 5%-10% of interest and when it is time for you to pull the trigger on the next property purchase, you will enjoy a much lower lending rate of 3.5% - 4.5% on time for their next property.I've been doing this for 9 years and have worked closely with real estate investors for the last 4 and a half.About my future goals, I am interested in partnerships with other investors within the local area (Bay Area).

My payment is $1000 with around $300 to tax and insurance.
