young and no liabilities is worth a lot more than 20k in the bank and kids.YOU need to research the different parts of the market and decide what niche you enjoy.Then get after it.

I do not take any risky financial decision if it will effect my family's home, but it is an individual preference.

I found your post interesting, because you have created a niche for yourself, that seems to be fairly unique.I don't have any conventional options for you, but you might consider looking for houses where the seller would owner finance, or deed subject to the existing mortgage.

I agree with Don and Jon (for some reason Don Johnson's name just popped into my head...).I prefer to look for Class A and B properties in my area and 1% would be considered "good" for a MFH.

I prefer a prop mgr instead (It's a write-off too) than to be there showing a vacant unit, fixing a grbg disposal, etc.

I really prefer a line of credit instead of trying to get individual loans per property.

Face to face interaction is actually my preferred method of dealing with customers, clients, etc.I am new to the real estate business in regards to investing, but I have spent a few years negotiating bank terms and rates on the behalf of owners.My business partner has experience in real estate as a landlord/owner.We are looking for lead sources and marketing strategies to maximize our efficiency as we setup shop.

We just found a niche and became experts.

I would prefer to be able to have all the money needed to finish the rehab all the way instead of doing it in stages because I wouldn't want the property to sit for more than it has too.I did take some classes on real estate finance and development in college, but I think it would help me the most if who ever answers my question assumes I don't know anything because I'm sure I'm missing a lot of information.Thanks, joined BP just mins ago.

Currently for example I have 5 real estate attorneys that are partnering with me because of expertise in my niche.
