The initial purchase closing costs seem pretty high to me - though maybe the hard money loan is wrapped in there. 

My initial thoughts were that I probably couldn’t get anything going for myself in real estate until I return from my trip in 2 years.

Consequently, a lot of my leads will be cold initially, and it'll take more leads to get a deal.

I am happy to say that I have earned WAY more $$$ in return than the initial investment of joining the community and am set to retire in the Summer of 2023 from the military.

Hi David,This is a good initiative of meetup.

We needed to move due to family reasons and our initial plan was to do some small repairs and keep the property as a rental.

Initial numbers look good.

It is my belief PMI on FHA is for 11 years on recent loans (not based on equity) that were initially 90% LTV or lower.

She initially put 10 K down payment, manager got half and we got half.

Sorry if this is painfully obvious to toehrs - I'm just starting out - but are loans generated by cash out refinancing typically at much lower rates than the initial conventional or commercial loans through which rental properties are typically purchased?
