I taking this first step in real estate for freedom from the conventional 9-5 and working 30 years before retiring.

I'm currently in the process of taking my first real steps to acquiring my first rehab as an investor!

Spoke to motivated seller and we agreed to 170000 at 1600 a month and I'm going to be assigning the deal so I'll be looking to make around 7k and step out of the deal.

So essentially I feel like this means step 1 instead of finding properties should be going to a lender and finding out what they can do for me, then go on to trying to find a property.3.

They were my Mortgage Company for Seven Years!

Now i just gotta get my buyers to step up, and step up finding more buyers.Got a core few buyers but I've stripped their capacity.Still, it's a thrill landing the deals.

The state budget has grown in each and every step of the state budget process each and every year that Brown has held office.

I am in the "teetering" point where I technically COULD be a full timer, but I am afraid to take the final step.

Second - If it is true, what steps should I start taking to increase my chances of getting financing when the time rolls around for my first purchase?
