I would like to invest some money in rich uncles while I am waiting to get enough together to buy my next rental has anybody heard of these guys and could you give me any advice Thanks

And I was trying to get a traditional loan where I was putting 20% down!!

I'm listening to the BP podcasts daily, reading everything I can on the forums, researching terms I don't understand, reading a rental property book, looking into getting my real estate license (even if it just helps me to buy my first property) and I had already read Think and Grow Rich twice last summer.

If I had earned as much money as experience I would have been rich.

There are also of course the traditional "fleshworld" sources of finding competent lenders:* Friend/family referrals that closed with a particular lender, esp those friends and family that we think have difficult or imperfect credit/income/asset situations. * Realtor referrals.

I won't be house hacking or moving in the next 10 years so traditional loans for me. 20% down in my market, south Riverside County, is brutal.

Fast forward a few months and I just picked up that old book called Rich Dad Poor Dad because honestly I was just getting tired of eBay, I know I can do greater things.

@Cindy S.Check out the RICH club.  

Here are the key questions to think through before you get it going:1) what do you want to buy2) how much can we afford3) how will you pay for it 3) what are you going to do with it afterHere is how we tackled this challenge:1) Find a reputable and responsive agent to work with: we worked with @Sharon Tzib2) Get pre-qualified with a good and local lender that work with investors: we usedd Rochelle Frazeur from New American. 3) Use some good MLS criteria to set up lists with your agent3) Find out how to identify a good deal: We got our hands on some good cash flow analysis calculators (thanks to @Sharon Tzib) and we used the calculators on BP as well4) Make neighborhood visits to those areas of your interest5) Find other venues to meet up with other investors or go to workshops and meet up's: We've attended BP meet up in Houston, events with Jet Lending, meeting with Wholesalers, and we've met one-on-one with other investors6) Look for non-MLS sources to find properties for sale: wholesalers, and local listing through Rich club or word of the mouth7) Talk to the property manager if you are planning on using on.
