@Ben Leybovich Great explanation and insight into some of your strategy on underwriting this deal!

Private lending documents, and an explanation of the processes, should come from either a lending and securities attorney or a hard money lender who obtained them from one.In fact, you ought to have a large hard money lender originate your loans for you.

It is a bit of an advanced technique so it requires a lengthy explanation.

As well as a thorough explanation of all the proper documents and forms needed for the success of my first and future real estate endeavors.

License aside...I like being able to hold my licensed trades responsible in case something is not done correctly.There can be numerous consequences as well if a property is being sold with an addition without being permitted.

I'm so excited to be here - after listening to the Bigger Pockets podcasts for the last 6-8 months and reading numerous books on real estate and business, I am more eager than ever to educate myself as much as possible and start my investment portfolio this year.I feel a quick introduction to myself is in order, so here's some background on who I am and what I am looking to accomplish this year:It all started with my endless search for "the perfect solution" to my endless problem of needing to climb the corporate ladder.

I attended numerous property tours of investors to listen how they purchased properties, what kind of rehab they conducted and there profit.  

This is exactly the explanation I was looking for.

There are of course numerous other ways to get started and you can jump right into the bigger and more risky investments right away.
