I'm fairly new to the game myself and live in Raleigh.

Hard money "asset based" lenders still require that you have skin in the game.

Its all apart of the game and I rarely shy away from a challenge of the minds.

I honestly turned a crucial corner when I made up my mind that I am not in this game just for money.

I didn't think about investing in real estate until I was talking to my friend after his trip to E3 and his desire to start up an indie game company.

Both Did ok, but not real well.Decided to get back in the game this summer and look for some new friends!.

and I have been "out of the game" for a little while.

With all my skills learned from BP, I have identified 2 properties in my city, brief information about both of the properties is mentioned below.I am planning to purchase this property with 2 purpose in mind, for next 6 - 8 years ( or more then that) I'll put this property on rent and after that I may stay there or I may not ( may relocate to another city, Nagpur).First Property •Located in an area which is developing rapidly as it is near to a big software SEZ.

I was a business major with a background in finance but ended up becoming a software engineer working for startups in San Francisco.The startup I work for has grown from 4 to almost 100 people which has made the hours more manageable and given me time to explore other entrepreneurial pursuits.I've saved up a small sum of cash to invest this year and I hope to learn a lot in my time here :)

Joseph Weisenbloom: I would take the information as a 75% solution due to the fact of not knowing the algorithm used for the software nor the categories used to determine what is/is not considered "crime".
