I will make it on my own without being worried about getting let go anymore.It also helps that the wife is the President of a nation wide Title Company.

Hey @Jordan Venjohn , I just got back from a trip to Cheyenne and Denver.When it comes to real estate Wyoming does not tend to follow national trends.

Hi BP nation, I have recently started direct mailing from a probate list here in Palm Beach County.

@Frankie LoweWelcome to BP nation!

I have embarked on the path you are interested in...left a 20 year corporate job at the end of 2012 to go full time in real estate.

Find a local bank or credit union, not a big national one, go in, talk to an officer and explain what your trying to do.Secured credit cards or loans are a great start, just make sure you don't spend more than you normally would, and pay them off every month.Debt to income could be a problem, so your going to have to build up your income so that you can afford to buy a house, it doesn't have to be a mansion, just a small house that you can rent out, that will also start the clock on your having 2 years of rental income (which helps).Don't go crazy applying for everything, you will end up with too many inquiries.

Look up national association of home builders.

Thanks in advance BP nation!

I belong to a national prosecutor's group that has members there. 

The training and culture at most national houses is geared nearly 100% towards retail sales.
