(regret that big time) I am now 30 yrs old, have a single family house in Dale City that we just bought last year for our growing family with a wife and two kids, ages 2 and 3, boy and girl. 

I'm a real estate photographer on the side.The difference between what a profissional can produce, and what a GWC (guy/girl with camera) can do is night and day. you can't take GREAT real estate photos without deeply learning photography.

As a husband and father of two girls, my Wife (new realtor) and I are interested in building a financial nest through real estate investments.

keep your head upsometimes when we think it is going to go smooth it just doesn'tdon't look at whata shoulda couldalook at this as a learning curve ball and do what you can with what you have until you can close the dealin the middle trying to get a dif loan is out, nobody is going to touch thatanother bad thing about some of these guys they will sell you a bunch of black roses and want you to fail so they can take over the propertyI had that experience from a lender out of Utah-hard money all right, they were a scamgo ahead and see what you can do to get it done, get you a network after the flip and close with money out so you have capital for your next projectenjoy

this is a very very tough business.. and Bessemer and B ham were your at... is HIGHLY competitive and has been for years.. there are deals there I fund probably 5 to 7 a month in that city and have for over 15 years.. its never ending inventory there.. but its competitive as Hell you are competing against my boys and girls there.. they do it for a living you have too many barriers to really compete other than falling into a deal like a pumpkin falling off a truck. 

Depends on your tolerance for stress.Just one girl's opinion.Stephanie

It's more the case that once white people move into a black neighborhood rents go up and push out lower-income residents, who are disproportionately minority.I think that working with the local communities as @Veronica Woods suggests is the best way try to "bring up" a neighborhood as opposed to destroying the fabric of it. 

If you are double-closing and he wants to see your right to the deal, simply scan a copy of the contract and black out the purchase price.
