I have absolutely no affiliation with B2R finance whatsoever and haven't heard of them since this post but when you come on a public forum (one that appears at the top of a lot of real estate related google searches) and are skeptical of a lender with no direct or indirect experience with them it is just not right to do in my opinion to just throw things out there with no basis.When the gentleman from B2R finance responded to your post you responded with a response not addressing the B2R rep and gave some vague skepticism of out of state lenders and their interest rates compared to your local lender.Not sure what your angle is here, but if you could clarify what your issue with B2R is we would all like to hear it.  

I've learned more and more that real estate is a life long game and patience is key.  

Everyone likes a little skin in the game. 

The numbers are slightly lower than the properties we purchased ourselves but that's to be expected.I am not affiliated with them and they didn't pay me to say that. 

A lot of people dream and never get in the game.  

You should transition into it.It is still to early in the game for you to know if you can make a lot of money flipping houses.

You will want the tenant to have some "skin" in the game.

If you are new to the game , dont jump in with both feet , its sink or swim . if you havent dealt with contractors before , they will smell it , and you will pay for it .

Feels like some sort of 'hard to get' game with a damsel.

So that's what initially drew me towards the topic but I think for myself, the overall end game I am looking for is a means of financial security.
