I'm trying to gauge your level of experience as I want to make sure my opinions/suggestions about STL S8 properties relate to you.

If you have gross income of $3k but ongoing bills of $1800 we know it may cause a financial hardship so that reflects in our scoring system.Hope this helps, but in my experience an interview is:a.

Even if they do have 20 years experience...how do you know really?

It has been my experience that HUD will accept the lower offer of no other bids are higher.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Also, there really isn't any great advantage to automatic payments from my experience.

Through my experience, I’ve cultivated a conservative approach that balances opportunity with risk management that I apply to every deal that crosses my desk.

Private lenders specializing in DSCR loans and rental portfolio financing may experience increased demand.

So now, instead of feeling excited about a new investment, I was scrambling for cash, stressed beyond belief, and facing major repair costs with less rental income to offset them.That experience completely changed how I approach real estate.
