I also obtained some CD's that were Q&A and I found those helpful in prepping for the test.

We've even found reliable agents here on BiggerPockets.We've had success purchasing assets in New York but we only purchase in bulk from larger banks and institutions which usually don't sell individual notes or to individual investors.We've never personally gone through the cold calling banks/credit unions route, I've heard it's not impossible to obtain assets that way but I've also heard it can turn into a bit of a needle in the haystack situation.

I thought about forming a separate one for the properties I would like to purchase however, how difficult is it to obtain financing if I do that?

Are you saying the bank (in the contract) prohibits you from obtaining financing?

The good news is that...we are able to obtain a 5/1 ARM loan at 3.0% interest rate at 70% LTV with 10 year balloon.

Our current plan is to flip, buy and hold and wholesale properties to ultimately provide a self sustaining business that can fully support the lifestyle we want to obtain while giving us more freedom to spend time with our families.Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and start networking on Bigger Pockets.

This makes it hard for small builders like myself to obtain lots to build on. 

This truly is in an A+ location. 95-100% occupancy.I obtained the 8825 form, but honestly am quite new at this and needed some help deciphering line-items.

A BPO-brokers price opinion should suffice, no need to obtain an appraisal.

Thanks, so the standard procedure is to obtain financing in your name, but put the property under the corporation?
