@Austin Tondreau so first of all, congrats on getting started and moving in the right direction.I will dress the balloon loan first.

Sometimes I’d rev myself up, dress up, and go to some event where I could network and do my pitch for money.

When I purchased the home it was a fairly large hair dressing and nail shop.

. ✅ Dress professionally This has always been a priority for me.

On paper the ARV of this property is approximately $125k, but I was able to purchase the property for $85k plus closing costs.I estimate that I will need to put approximately $20k into renovations (there is a serious plumbing problem, the roof and HVAC need love.) including dressing up the landscape.Once rent ready, average rents for the area are in the arena of $1200/month.

And even though you are not on trial I have always been told by attorneys to dress professional.

I remember seeing you at the conference (arguably the best dressed attendee, I might add). 

It is harder to turn you down if you are dressed well and look credible.However if they continue to turn you down, you might need to go with a private lender.

How are they dressed?
