It gets easier in some ways as the loan gets bigger. 10-year balloon is standard.

Hello, I just came across Bigger Pockets about 3 weeks ago and now want to start my real estate investment venture.

I have been reading books and listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts for roughly 8 months now.

My current hurdle has been trying to put myself out there more and start networking to make the right connections so that I can streamline my process and be able to offer quality and honesty to any of my future clients.Anyways, I started watching Bigger Pockets on YouTube and have been spending my extra time lately reading more of their books and articles. 

Quick question to the Bigger Pockets community!

Hey Guys,I am buying a bigger mixed unit building (15 apartments and 3 retail stores) the building needs a lot of work and evidence of lead paint is shown on the ceilings.

Admittedly, a 100+ unit property is bigger than I've ever dealt with but I'd be happy to help out if I can.

Recent Bigger Pockets episode motivated me to reach out to US Bank about their mortgages and loan products. 

sounds about right.And I'm new to this 'house hacking' term -no one in real estate (at least in Florida) uses it unless its a Bigger Pockets member or millennial, but from what I gather, to house hack is to buy a home and then rent out the bedrooms to offset your mortgage.

We never did rent it to anyone other than my sister-in-law for a short time.I now live in what will probably our "forever home" and am interested in getting into real estate to start making some passive income and ultimately quit my day job.I have listened to a TON of the bigger pockets podcasts and am primarily interested in renting, however, I also don't mind getting my hands dirty and have dabbled in contracting some jobs out myself so may get into flipping as well.My wife and I are big fans of Dave Ramsey and are within about 5 years of paying off our house.
