I've even reached out online & left a vmail.

Hey Nathan how can I contact u I'm in Jacksonville and wanna reach out

Signing up and reaching out is a great start towards getting deals done correctly and reaching out to seasoned real estate investors.Congratulations, and I wish you all the best.

@Jason Stoops I'll reach out to you.

I have been doing tons of research studying new things and reached out to many  realtors because i am a home inspector also.

It needs a lot of work and I just would like to reach out to my new founded family for the best approach to make sure I don't estimate to much or to little on this job.

This would be my first sale of a unit so I thought what better way but to reach out to more experienced investors who already have weighed this decision in the past. 

Be sure to check for all kinds of useful resources and free how to guides.Networking is how to succeed in this space and as such I wanted to give you an open invitation to feel free to reach out to me at any time.

This may be a long post, but I thought it would be good to walk through everything step-by-step, and explain my thinking along the way.If you want to stick with me through it all, here we go:I was not going to be getting a conventional mortgage for my first property for a number of reasons.First, I am still annoyed at the hoops I had to jump through to get a mortgage for my primary residence.Second, my liquid cash was on the lower end.Third, the properties that I would need to start out with would not be financeable anyway.Fourth, my DTI is on the high side, due to the decision that we made to take out a HELOC to complete interior improvements on my primary house.So, I decided that my path was going to be to form a single member LLC, and take a loan from my 401(k) at work to finance the down payment.Since I do not view the 401(k) loan as a long-term solution, I am treating like hard money, and pay it off ASAP.So, my first deal would be a flip, or a rental that was such a good deal, that I could re-fi out and pull all my cash out.I decided to reach out to the commercial lending department of the local credit union, which I am a member.The person I talked to (who became my lender) is fantastic.I told him what types of properties I was looking for, and that I’d look to turn them into rentals, or to flip them.I will never forget his response, which reminded me why I love this credit union.He said:“Typically, the deals you are talking about are much smaller than the deals we like to do.However, we also realize that you can not get to that level unless someone helps you get there.So, if the numbers make sense, we will see if any of our products fit.”Awesome!
