I have been doing this since the mid 80s  over 3500.00 transactions and If I can do it you can do it :) "If I can do it you can do it :)"Haha, this is exactly my problem in life... if other people can pull off out-of-state investing in class C neighborhoods, maybe I can too? 

With some of my clients, I've seen discounts of 30% to 90%.Here is a real-life example: I invested in a $50K note; it was second TD but with significant equity (over $200K) protecting my investment.

Aside from Real Estate, my love for life is found in auto racing (F1, Indycar, Etc.), spending time with my family, and always continuing to better myself whether that be reading books, being outdoors and exercising, networking, and/or sharpening my skills for my trade.I started my real estate journey in 2021 after a software business I was a partner in had a bad partnership breakup that saw me lose everything (financially). 

For example, a buyer putting 20% down on a $500k home would pay around $500k in interest over the life of a typical mortgage at current rate around 6.5%.
