One day, I would like to be a full time investor, and be financially independent.But, with the current challenges in the market right now, I am hoping that I will be able to "pick your brains" and obtain some key pointes / pitfalls to avoid.Again thx and I look forward to working with everyone.

I needed to get a character reference for one loan, a reciept for the purchase of an engagement ring, for another to prove the couple was engaged, and income asset docs for a stated stated deal.

I want privately held investment and real estate companies engaged in the acquisition, development and management of select real estate projects and selected business opportunities.

It IS possible your standard is unrealistic.I have reviewed thousands of applicants in all income levels, and in some of the very poorest and crime-ridden neighborhoods in my cities, and while it can be a challenge to get someone to qualify, it is achievable.

I have an equity partner who is willing to put up the capital if I just manage it...then we both split equity & earnings after his 10% required return.All I've had to this point is residential single dwellings....taking a known calculated risk with this 8 plex but I'm up for the challenge.

You just simply engage the other person in conversation and ask more questions than them.

In fact, several of us have personally challenged many people who came here to fleece newbies with strategies that were bogus and information that was incorrect.

I know in some places you can challenge property taxes.

My main challenge is the crawl space that reeks unbelievably of cat urine.

Coordinating them long distance and getting a lockbox on the property can be a challenge.
