@Matthew Dreiling Buying TK is a shortcut, and I think best for people with zero knowledge, or for experienced investors looking to quickly expand their portfolio, but given that you have a degree in Real Estate, I would think you can do better on your own. 

Hey guys, quick question!

We went to our local REIA meeting last week and met some good contacts pretty quickly.

Hmmm, sounds like she's a real piece of work... just another lazy entitled American trying to plunder their way to riches off the backs of those of us who are willing to apply ourselves.

I agree with Brian although many portfolio lenders would lend quickly if you have 20-25% to put down. 

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad probably 10 years ago because one of my older cousins was trying to get me into Real Estate.

Are there hard money lenders that lend with longer terms or is there a way to quickly pay off that investor via refi or something else?

I did a quick search, and I will try to explain it a different way.The sign in the picture appears to be an on-premise for sale sign rather than an off-premise directional sign (pointer sign).

I got the spreadsheet from the rich dad website.

But at the same time, you rarely come across folks who got very rich by investing  in syndications.
