Was stationed in SoCal, Okinawa, and deployed to the Philippines.An odd combo of a gym rat and a bit of a nerd.Compete in amateur strongman competitions.As far as my goals go this is copied from my profile.Task 1: Debt freeCurrently, I'm on the cusp of accomplishing my first task on this road and for me that is 100% debt free.Task 2: 6 month emergency fundMy primary occupation ebbs and flows so an emergency fund is going to be key for my financial safety and health.Task 3: Save up roughly 30kUtilizing the VA for the purchase of my first property means I won’t need a down payment but having money to invest and fix up that first property will go a long way to speeding up my success.Task 4: Buy and renovate my first multifamily property (BRRRR)My first property is up and running and providing positive cash flow.Task 5: Expand to 3 properties within 5 years still utilizing BRRRRGet those properties up and running smoothly and make them highly desirable.

A task that I can honestly say was a bit much for me to try to take on as far as sifting through.

Anyways the question I have is this...I'm really trying to figure out where to put money first as far as marketing goes, have website and business cards etc...but as far as the marketing goes its a tough decision.

As far as what you stated about ""That is THE most common sticking point that I see on postings - where do you find these near-mythical Newbie-friendly Transactional Lenders?".

As far as I know you will not be able to do this. 

Its Probably going to cash trickle more than cash flow but thats all you need for your first Multi:-) Its also a great option since it is so small and you won't be paying nearly as much in maintenance as you would for 2 or 3bed units.

As far as managing, I am factoring in the cost of PM when doing my numbers, I just hope I'm able to find reliable PMs.

They have nothing to lose.CAUTION: don’t educate the wholesaler as far as how you are making money with terms deals!

Hi @Patricio Tellez-Giron, You pretty much got all of the bases covered in terms of exit options, but keep in mind there are many ways to modify a loan (for example, a Discounted Loan Payoff, a reinstatement of the loan, a payment plan, refinancing, and a seller assistance option as well, not to mention any combination of these strategies).As far as determining the outcome for each exit and the return, it's a tough question without knowing the specifics of any one note (price, location, cost of your due diligence, foreclosure timeline/fees, etc) but speaking generally you either exit through the property or exit through the borrower.

As far as learning, no matter how long anyone is in this profession (or many others) there is always something new to be learned.
