A lot of people start out by buying a SFR & living in it for a year, rent it out and buy another primary residence.

Are you using other peoples money, hard money, conventional, or your own cash?

I know a lot of people on BiggerPockets talk about real estate investing as a means to an end, but I'm think I might also just really enjoy the strategy, execution, and hands-on work involved.

I am adding two more projects beside my marketing business Selllandinusa.com and topcashofferinusa.com What do you think about the idea, goal is to rank the websites and do JVs with investors here.

Most people looking for a one-year lease have their own furniture.

Yea I always advise people open helocs on their homes before they move, otherwise it's traditional cashouts. 

When I’m listing agent, I ensure EMD is received per contract (usually 2 business days) with confirmation from escrow agent.

Hi good people.

If it was me, and knowing what I now know, I would find a market where I can invest in, be boots on the ground, and learn the business.

But as a new business or a non-licensed GC its going to be a hard "No" from 99% of most banks.
