What about a down-on-his-luck 40-year old school teacher that had started getting into real estate before the 2008 crash when everything went south and his properties lost most of their value and as a result has a foreclosure and a bankruptcy on his records in the past couple years... would you lend him $250K?

Past experience is a great teacher.

But beware; choose your teachers wisely.

Professors or teachers teach professions, specialists give instruction in trades and vocations but aren't considered teachers.

I have one property with about 250k equity that I can leaverage and I have savings and 401kCurrently a school teacher and I am interested in know how you exited your 9-5 because I would like to transition this year if possible.

You see, I'm not here to support or enable poor practitioners of real estate especially those who think they already know things and then ask how to employ a tactic they know about.

And for this, I am interested in understanding if in addition to TK providers that I am already working with, can folks on this forum recommend a few realtors who have a good relationship with property management to enable me to look at a few deals.
