@David Mejia definitely high prices and hard to find cash flowing properties right now especially if you are looking in A-B areas, I have seen a couple off market properties in Delray, Lake Worth and in general north Palm Beach that have some decent returns but still not great.

As a Newbie , its very hard to get in the game, be it-  building capital; finding deals; networking or just taking action.

Hi Scott,It's hard to pin point exactly what got me interested in real estate.

The issue I have is that I have some credit card debt thats holding me back making it very hard to save for capital for a down payment.

Definitely cheaper than hard money.

I HAVE A HARD CHOICE TO MAKE,MOTHER IN LAW 'S HOME IS A REVERSE MORTGAGE HOME,BUT IN FORECLOSURE PROCESS FOR INSURANCE LAPSE AND UNPAID TAXES.

If I own the pharmacy, I have:Rent - a premium, high-rent payer,Credit – tenant has great credit,Building - vertical improvements in the form of the building,Site Improvements - in the form of a parking lot, curbing, storm controls, etc,Zoning – I own real estate zoned for a broad variety of commercial uses, andReal Estate - I have a great piece of underlying ground on the hard corner of a signalized intersection with the highest traffic counts in the area.There is a market for this type of product.

@Ashley Benning, many sellers (at least the more sophisticated ones) won't accept proof of funds letters from hard money lenders.
