I work in analytics consulting and have managed my finances and investments well by myself. 401k, investment accounts, high yield savings account, own a house in a nice neighborhood with a traditional 30-yr mortgage, etc. 

After a few folks in the neighborhood became worried about the 2 chemical fires, they had a PG&E "information" meeting.  

They proposed higher than market rent, but want to keep 2 people from thee organization volunteers in one room in future.We checked the website of the non-profit organization, their program include several categories, including helping international children to school, housing for the homeless, etc.

I started out a some years back and eventually became a broker to be able to help others.

Be patient and kind, sincere, fair, real - and you will attract people who will want to work with you, to help you get some deals. 

My sec 8 inspector told me he has “wiggle room” to approve above the published payment standard if he decides the unit and neighborhood meets the price I am asking.

So, tell a story of how you (or a fellow wholesaler) helped a seller out with their challenge(s).

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I'm so glad to have found this online community and resource to help me get started on my real estate rental investment.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.
