Many years ago I was talking to a tenant at a complex we owned and she made a comment about her credit being so bad that she had to give a "double deposit".

I am always looking for likeminded people to talk business / real estate with.

Hope this helps.Also, if you want to type to someone directly, you will start typing the "@" symbol, followed by the name of the person you are trying to talk to.

Talk to your RE Attorney to see if there is a legal way to do a Sub2 (or master lease, or wrap, or whatever) in your state.The $1,000+ number that "includes everything" would just be PITI, correct?

Remember when talking with your mortgage lender that the current lease(s) from tenants on the property can be put toward your dept to income ratio whether or not you have had landlord experience in the past.

Talk to everyone in your sphere of influence.  

hey @Evan Ventura I hear good things about @Gary Harris ....you should reach out and talk!

I see some MF properties that could possibly work if you were able to talk the seller down in price, but at the same time have been on the market for 3 or 4 months or more.

I've been talking to a few co workers about forming a LLC to start flipping houses but I would like to see if I could do it myself first.

I can hear and talk just fine, even on the phone!
