Obviously Fund & Grow has a method to sidestep the credit department's underwriting standards.My theory is that they are making use of " shelf corporations ", corporations with no assets or current business activity. 

This is based on a few years experience exploring the NOLA market and several years living there part time.  

Once you have 5 or 6 properties then go and explore another state.

Hey Bigger Pockets,One of my goals for this year is to do the classic tried and true method of buying a duplex with a FHA loan.

Hello everyone, I'm exploring more ways to find deals but with caution.

I wanted to diversify outside of the stock market; real estate investing sounds like a great method.

@Nathanael Rojas maybe this method works for a company or a person that has a lot of cash to close deals, but it's horrible advice for someone just starting out.If an offer gets accepted you are legally saying that you will make a good faith effort to close on that property.

My method is less quantitative, but works well in my area.
