At their age financially they should be way farther ahead than they are and are in a downward spiral.

Anyways, I'm very happy and excited to be part of the BP community, and look forward to building some assets that can hopefully one day lead to financial freedom!

If the tenant has a significant weakness in financial/credit history, but met all of our other requirements, we would offer to rent but would require a higher security deposit.

The typical BRRRR strategy, but such a great way to leverage your limited financial resources.You asked specifically about financing. 

I'm currently no way affiliated with Ryan in terms of financial gain but he offers so much incredible value (free and paid) and helps actually take people up the chain in their industry.

Sounds like you're pretty educated on the financial side.

Focus on paying off the CC and car loan (both sources of bad debt), and eliminating bad money habits - this is absolutely fundamental to long term financial success.

I've also listended to all but maybe eight of the BP podcasts and have a conceptual understanding of different strategies and options; my background is in financial analysis and corporate valuation. 

I was a financial advisor for about 3 yrs and made the switch to the real estate industry.

My current goals are to continue to acquire cashflowing deals in my local market, build up experience and with continuing growth and confidence expand to the point where my family is financially free.First off this community is amazing and has been a huge motivator to change my view on my investments.
