Hi fellow BPers,I was just on the Webinar on Duplexes to Fourplex that Brandon hosted, and a question was asked about starting on a deal with their own money.  

Since I've had 10 years framing houses and construction and a few years  remodeling homes, I did everything myself (with the help of family members of course).

Decent credit and a decent property is required, but if those things aren't hurdles (and they don't seem to be from what I've read), that would be a strategy to pursue.Stephanie

If it's a nice house/neighborhood with minimal repairs and a high chance of large equity gain down the road, 0.8% might make a heck of alot of sense. 

Just trying to build clients and gain more knowledge of possibly building relationships and a possible buyers & Lenders list!!!

Hello to All,I would REALLLY appreciate any and all Help, Suggestions, Comments, Experience, & Recommendations for me to FINALLY nail down, and pick out a Website Company, a CRM, a Dialer, and a Source for getting Expired, Cancelled, and FSBO phone #'s.So far I have heard that MOJO is a pretty good dialer.  

I am actually a realtor, licensed in both DC and Maryland, which we have an active real estate market and a competitive investor market as well.

Do you have information for a local club for the inland empire and a meet up?

We have private investors (passive), a contractor (equity partner), lawyer (equity partner - still looking), and a financial advisor (equity partner - still looking).

As for leasing fees, the industry standard in our area is 1/2 of first month's lease and a flat rate management fee for month-to-month management.
