My friend loves this house, and cannot afford a large down payment at this time making the FHA more attractive.Thank you for all the support, and look forward to chatting to you soon.

We had a girl who was head over the heels about the place at our open house, but her realtor has advised her not to put it under contract because he is confident it will get a low appraisal due to the appraiser only using in project comps (he also mentioned that it is a VA loan, and they are very strict about staying in the project).I also believe that the realtors are not even showing this to their clients because of the above reason (though we have had about 4 showings).  

Take the classes needed to get a RE license, pass the test, hang your hat under a RE broker, build up a client base, and start buying and selling RE for them to get hands on experience.

I would not do this if your income was not significant to support issues or if you plan to move far away from the property.  

So, between Child Support/Alimony, and that mortgage, I think it will be difficult for me to get financing. 

I think folks that get disappointed with turn key are under the illusion that its like buying a mutual fund or something like that.when in fact what is done for you is simply this.1. a rehabber ( turn key outfit ) has sourced and rehabbed ( we hope) a rental property and sold it to you 2. they may have put a tenant in it 3. and they may own the management company ( wise move for most turn key as they keep better contact with their clients and over time this becomes  nice profit center) Once you own it you have to be engaged and stay engaged as the owner if you don't your going to usually have disappointment.. and if you as the buyer think just because you bought turn key that you need to hardly do anything for the rest of the life of the investment well then your setting your expectations up for some disappointment.

I decided to go into Real Estate and had big plans for my future (had to because I had a little one depending on me to support and provide for her). 

But now that it's over,the fight begins to find that next client.There is so much to learn and so much to do that it seems overwhelming.You have to accept that it's going to take time and instead of trying to do a ton of things at the same time,pick one or two tasks per day and devote the time to getting those done.Small and steady steps will keep you moving forward,that's the game plan.I need to build a website that clients will enjoy seeing and using.I have to reach out and touch every person I know or use to know and still talk to on Facebook.I'm planning on a lot of lunches and dinners with former high school classmates and fellow employees from my previous career of 20 years.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

None of the big firms will be willing to support and train you because they have a seat cost and you won't be trying to make that seat pay for them.
