I've actually been apart of this community for awhile now but mainly just as a knowledge source for learning more about investing in real estate.

My main problem is I just moved and am beginning to invest in real estate full-time, so I have no income to qualify for a loan. 

That is not to say it is foolproof or that there is any guarantee the bank would not call the loan. agreed it was one of my main methods for buying rentals for about a decade probably did over 100 of them.. but no land trust just took title had 3 called paid them off.. 

@Bruce Weyer You would want to talk to an accountant for the exact items that can be deducted but you have hit on the main ones.

They have one main contractor they use.

Hi All,I am new to BP and am currently reading Raising Private Capital - Building your Real Estate Empire Using Other Peoples Money.I would like to know if any Real Estate Investors groups in Maine (Portland to Augusta preferably).

all those things considered... and of course I sold them right away mainly to Germans for 50 to 60k apiece so we took our 15 to 25k profits and did that for a year or so then went to Atlanta and was getting smokin deals there I think I bought 54 in one year at courthouse there then the big hedge funds came in and kicked us to the curb.. we kept those though and then rolled them all up and sold them all at once to a HEDGE fund.. doubled our money in 18 months on those.

You might want to use this Forum to get advice from others that have dine this. 

@Jordan Lynch If you want "off-market" deals, you're going to have to put the time into generating those leads.... like it'll become your main hobby / business.

Mainly Phoenix, Seattle, Austin, Denver, Atlanta and Dallas.
