I'll be posting in my local church facebook page looking for roommates but seeing I'm fairly new to Austin, I don't personally know anyone looking to rent a room currently.I'll be screening tenants based on income, background check, credit check, etc..

From there, I'd like to achieve financial independence by the time I'm 35 and hopefully be able to focus on spending time with my family and growing my real estate portfolio.On the side, I'm working towards the CFA designation, I run ultra-marathons (got my first 100-miler in a month 😬), and I'm an altar server at my church.

What if she lives to 105.Talking about living to 105, a women we know from church was looking for an apartment for her mom.

Asset-based lenders fund Non-owner occupied residential, industrial, multi-family, mixed-use, warehouse, office, retail, hotel, motel, churches, gas stations and land.

It is never as bad or as good as they say it is.People who predict crazy things like the rapture, the end of the world, the end of America as we know it, stocks going to zero, and who use extreme language make for good TV and good church but have ALWAYS been wrong.

They love to get good press by helping out with these things.I would look into those avenues along with charities,churches,and government programs.

I take advantage of non-cash donations as most people severely underestimate them.An S-corp can give as much as they want and it will pass to the shareholders onto Schedule A subject to the limitation of what category organization it was given to: 50%: School/Church/Community/health govt org 30%: Veterans/fraternal/nonprofit cemetery/ private foundation.Why donate $100 to save $25-33?

They are doing Jack Ramsey program and lots of church stuff.

So here is what you can do right away if you want to take action:Step 1: Find a great lender that has been in the business at least 7 years, and that knows down-payment resources.Step 2: Talk to your parents, family, church, etc to see if they would be able to help you with the down payment.Step 3: Find a Real Estate broker that owns properties, that has been in the business for at least 10 years full time ( you want someone that worked the market before it crashed, made it through the lean years and sells now).Step 4: Based on the amount you get pre-approved see what is the best neighborhood you can afford, and if possible to be walking distance to public transportation, or close to Universities, Hospitals, Factories, etc, anywhere you'll have a stream of potential tenants.Step 5: Let us know when you succeeded and keep asking questions!

Recommend he calls HR and inquires about an EAP or invite him to your church to get him into a good community.
