You can open so many doors entering the business this way.

My goal is to, by one year from now, have entered into this world in a meaningful way.

Like  a Seattle funding.. or Lima or others... but I find the closer the lender is to the property the easier it is.will be interesting to see where the B2R and Colony funding arms end up... as they enter the space with Billions..Along with the Crowdfunding sites that are getting some pretty good traction in the debt space.. they are a little spread out to give any local lender much competition but if they concentrated on a market they could certainly bust into a local HML  playground and take market share  as their rates are usually more competitive.

We have all our leads entered in Podio, so when someone calls, we already know who they are and which house they're calling about.We have one lead that I think is promising.

Unless I entered something incorrectly or bankrate's calculators are wrong, what you're saying is incorrect.I personally believe in the strategy of taking the 30 year over the 15 because it adds flexibility and it's the cheapest money you can easily find, but it will cost you more in the long run versus taking a 15 year loan, and you certainly won't pay off the loan earlier by taking the 30 year loan.Eddy

- entering all or any transaction that is over .00- owner, tenant, vendors, loans, investment, equity, partners...So what is management?

We had a second child, and my oldest son entered the school district.
