I'm sure all this is trial and error but I just want to make sure I'm getting good info. 

I am pretty new to r.e investing as well and learned a great amount of info from these meetings.

I was only doing 10-20 skips for him a month but was providing such good info that he asked me to do it at a higher volume.

Hi Everyone,I'm hoping for some guidance b/c I've called several mortgage companies and haven't been able to receive helpful info. 

There is a lot of bad information out there so always make sure you get the best info you can. :)

Tie, great info.

@Katie Lepore @Jay Hinrichs Thank you both for the info so far. 

Cam,thanks for the info and counsel.
