The conforming loan limit is 10.

Then when you go to the bank to get financing for more properties, all they can see is that you are more rich than last time you went to see them, and that your investments hold themselves up so there is no limit to how many you can do/find.

Some lenders choose to limit their exposure by not doing them.

An investor who's dealing with multiple agents and hunting deals on their own may want a limitation that the buyer's agent will only get paid for deals they've presented, for example.The only place you're going to get a break is on a FSBO.

Great stuff.I like the lifestyle in Denver.

Then again as investors we try to delegate what we can to focus on what we most importantly need to handle (the A&D) so maybe this degree has limited use as well.The finance degree can be finished the earliest, the real estate degree will require the most amount of time (that one is not even at my school so it'll require a significant change of plans)What do you guys think is the best option?

I find that working on a floating margin based on completion of work is a good way to limit financial exposure on a flip.

Its expensive (4X landlord insurance, which is higher than homeowners), short term (3 months at a time) and has very limited coverage.Taxes can be tricky.
