Hello everyone,I currently work for a large REIT in Cleveland, OH as a development accountant. 

Right now, I'm planning on trying to get a job at a large commercial real estate broker when I graduate, so I can continue to learn more about the business as I begin to invest.

Hello,I'm looking for some advice on the impact getting married will have on my/our ability to qualify for conventional financing. I'm planning on getting started as a buy and hold investor in the next year - my plan ...

If any large expenses happen within the first 10 years of owning you are basically at break even at best or have  a loss.

I figured – I love real estate and construction and I am good at math and management so why not use my skills to build up passive income rather than working till I’m 60.But personally I spend the bulk of my time putting together the financing with local individuals looking to make a better return on their money than the stock market can give and to partner with on some large properties, So, of course I gotta ask, you don’t know anyone looking to diversify into real estate, do you?

-What is the smallest/ largest loan you make (to see if you can build a relationship and scale with this person)?

The only large quantity of properties in my under 200k price range are studios.

I didn’t have a large marketing budget, or any budget for that matter, so in order to send out the direct mailers I bought a list and put together 2000 yellow letters by buying the paper and envelopes in bulk at Walmart and then spending the next couple of weeks every night from midnight to 2am, after the kids were sleeping, just folding and stamping them to save money.

I put down a small down payment and then renovated a large part of the house out of pocket.

Everyone should really know their state/local laws before developing an occupancy limit because some areas are starting to push for "communal" housing wherein a large group of people share a home  and act like a family by sharing chores, meals, common space, etc.
