It feels absolutely empowering to know that there are sooooo many like-minded individuals looking to secure their financial future in the art of real estate investing. 

Is anyone interested in meeting up as I am always trying to expand my RE Network to surround myself with like minded individuals physically closer to where I live

@Fahad Meer It can be tough when a lot of your tenants don't have bank accounts - interesting too in this day and age even if you are low-income individuals.

IT MAY CHOOSE TO MAKE AN OFFERING TO SOME, BUT NOT ALL, OF THE PEOPLE WHO INDICATE AN INTEREST IN INVESTING, AND THAT OFFERING MIGHT NOT BE MADE UNDER REGULATION A.

.- I sold my home on 1 lot and kept the vacant lot to sell individually.

Any broker or individual investor who values a non-commercial asset using commercial metrics are only showing their ineptitude. 

To be successful with this, I want to focus on working with one individual/company at a time.

At one lender, he indicated that my debt-to-income ratio is too high, since I currently have three loans (primary residence and two investment properties, one of which I'd sell and 1031).My income is fairly high, and due to a job change, it's recently increased $20k. 

At a minimum, you need to verify their identity and their criminal record.I generally combine their income to meet my standard of 3x the rent but if there are three or more unrelated people renting together than I require each individual to make a minimum 2x the rent.
