Julian, for you to just jump into the commercial game is not as easy as you think.

I have posted a few of my deals and look forward to learning from all of you.My hobbies include: foreign languages, keeping exotic fish, formula 1, modified exotics; and would love to get into amateur Porsche racing, scuba and light aviation ... maybe even some big-game hunting.See ya around!

REO's are strictly a numbers game.

Insufficient startup cash to show an HML we have 'skin in the game' or working project needs (rehab etc).3.

Of course the cash flow would be offset by the fact that I'm paying rent but it would allow me to get in the game and start building a portfolio..

I'm a current RE agent and investor fairly new to the game, but with a goal to become successful in building long-term wealth with real estate, particularly in the multi-family aspect.

Just as a side note - Tacoma, WA is flooded with investors looking to rehab properties and it is very easy to assign a contract on a house that is available in most parts of it (including the area this house is in). I

Finding deals to invest in is really much easier than people make it.

Too many games to play, and I don't the time, money or patience for it.

Matt If you want to be in the game for a long haul, make great money and sell your properties faster then the rest then you will always want to make sure you keep your numbers tight so the end buyer (investor, rehabber etc.) has plenty of room to make money.
