Basically, I want to rent property.

I may not be explaining this very well, but I am basically afraid of capping myself out credit wise that I will not be approved to buy more investments and that is the whole goal.

So do I basically network other investors to get them interested in deals and I become the deal maker?

That's a profit to the investor of $40,000 with basically no work.I haven't done this, so maybe someone can tell me if I'm way off, but I've spent thousands on education and this seems to be the general concensus for these types of deals.

So pretty much now its the end of the rope there, and the hype people are still talking about basically they are just stuck holding the bucket.

The guts of the letter are the same, basically you are fully approved as long as everything you told them checks out.

I'm basically offering my expertise, but I'd rather not spend over 1 hour typing and proof reading when a 5 minute conversation would do the trick.

Basically I have a decent track record.I'd like to pursue a commercial building.

I know the basics of real estate (I suppose) and was interested in investing at one point in time but a bad transaction will make one lose interest really fast...I might be getting over it.Anyway, I am just asking because I've seen places for $1k to one million and I would assume that the price listed is the "purchase price" plus paying for closing?

I did an investing trip out to SF last September and we couldn't find anything under 700k for even the most basic single family home in and around SF.
