We have frequently had this problem.

I've already had two borrowers text me and ask if their rate went down by a 0.5% after explaining this repeatedly to them for the past month. 

Contact a title (escrow) office and repeat #3 above. 

My first did well based on selecting an area that we frequent.

Continue to repeat #1 recommendation every 12 months until you are tired of moving.The ugly truth is that you need some money to start investing in real estate and I strongly recommend you do it with your own money before you start lending money from family and friends.All the best and keep up posted on your progress.

Save money, buy a house, rent it out, rinse, and repeat.

After that were were hooked and kept hitting repeat. 

I have frequently contacted sellers about properties that are off market that I feel pretty strongly that my buyer would be interested in or they have contacted me about. 

Take advantage of the need to get new residents more frequently than an LTR by experimenting right after you've filled a listing: change up the description on your platforms, try a new platform, raise the proposed rents, or practice reaching out to those "bad leads" of FF.

That is why I said Full Bore.There are recessions and there are RECESSIONS.I don't want a repeat of 2007-2009.
