I know the MLS can be a very usefully tool, but I am speaking towards off market deals

@Jason Wang if you were speaking with a bank who stated their loan limit is 4 please seek another lender RIGHT AWAY. 

Ask to speak to some of their current owners and tenants.6.

Now, what you can do is provide a quality property to a low income individual and fix problems as they present themselves; that would be doing a huge service to them and to society.

So anyways...I recently walked into a couple local banks, asked to speak to someone about REI financing.

Devon,Strictly speaking you don't need a college degree to do real estate.If the only reason you don't want to go to college is because you think it's "worthless", you've got the wrong reason. 

I heard on the board that flips generally cost more to rehab, as they need to be done to a higher "quality" or look.

I introduced myself a while ago on BP but I haven't been as active as I'd like so I thought I'd do a re-introduction as my plans are more solidified now and I will be on the forum A LOT looking to add value, contribute and build quality relationships as I'm basically moving to a country to chase my dream where I barely know anyone so I'm absolutely looking to build relationships and help any way I can on here!

It can protect myself, at the same time, I can speak freely.
