I'm not married to the A lender - so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears.

On the two pieces of land please describe.  

Could be a brand new issue maybe a piece of fruit was left laying around. 

The reason I ask is because your lending options are a critical piece to being a "buy and hold" investor. 

I'm late to the game so I'm still making my way through One Piece.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated and I am all ears for ways I could help others to form symbiotic relationships, as I know that no one likes a parasite!

My thoughts were that I needed a structured environment and a piece of paper to let me know that I had acquired a skillset.

My initial motivation stems from the dream of being an entrepreneur who works for themselves and schedules their own life, not an employee but an EMPLOYER.HOWEVER, hard work gets everyone tired and with fatigue and exhaustion we all lose a piece of that motivation, what keeps me going is surrounding myself with other investors, seeing people of all different walks of life come into this industry and creating success, makes me think, why not me?

Im familiar with Nimius, In fact I met the owner of the company a few weeks ago at a local meetup and a lot of people I trust would recommend them, so I think this might be a case of "you cant get blood from a stone" Th best piece of advice I can give for both of you would be to check out some of the local REI groups.
