I started on my real estate journey right out of Architecture school, ultimately to get to designing and developing my own properties from the ground up.

for new construction development extra.. it makes a HUGE difference I can tell you.. and I had 30 million out with them that I used to loan to flippers and I made the delta.. that was in my HML company and that was 5 different banks all same facilities.. 

Hello all is anyone familiar with H.A.N.D.S (Housing and Neighborhood Development services) It's a Orange county down payment assistance program (Florida) but I'm not sure how many or if many lenders deal with this type of program and was wondering if anyone have a bit more information on this Also I'm trying to buy a house and I'm  ready as far as credit (FICO) score it's 739 also this would be my frist house and want to stay around 150K range.  

I have a few homes there as well.Stay away from the East side of Bakersfield, only invest in the West as it's much more developed and the demographics are much better.

We had one unit that developed mold because of a pretty much invisible roof leak.

It's more of a hobby than the profession that feeds their family. 

I'm not in a position to do this yet as I have not developed any sort of network yet but I WILL be able to one day and I simply love this idea it sounds like there is no way to lose.

Hi Reul, congratulations on getting the property under contract, now the hard work begins :)We have 2 new constructions close to completion in Jersey City and have worked with our General Contractor - ALM Developers.

I'll share with the developers. 

There are tons of engineers, accountants and other professions that invest in real estate.
