I have been a chiropractor for 18 years and am looking to get into buy and hold real estate investing that can support me in retirement.

Not exactly with me as an investor...but I was building a house for an investor so I guess that counts...So I was walking through a rough inspection with a newer Building Inspector and he was calling out all kinds of mistakes he was seeing - where's the 4x4 from that top plate to the beam....where's the support for the brace?

I don't remember ever seeing a national bank or mortgage co or broker support youth sports or the arts or anything in my community.  

I'd have to find a different property manager as the one we're currently using would certainly charge more for that kind of support.

Thanks in advance for any support. 

I should add that it is a family business and I have already expressed my interest in learning a lot more about the business than just keeping the books and So far they seem very supportive.

Many hard/private money lenders overlook that and some even lend with no skin in the game, although not common without a prior relationship and or track record.3.

Appreciation is all well and good, but an asset has to support itself first and foremost.

As a developer you need to have thick skin and ignore baseless ignorance and unwarranted negativity.

@Angel Medrano I am not familiar with any market that supports buying off the MLS and BRRRR'ing the property.
