As soon as something hits in your price point, get out there and see it immediately.  

I trained with Fortune Builders, which allowed me to hit the ground running, so I felt like I knew what I was doing.

Why, I also thought of doing is, partner with real estate agents, say about 3 good ones, who won't drop the ball, remember, you have to have a good reputation and you are still tied to the deal, so make sure to pre-screen the agents your feeding the leads to, and I recommend 2 or 3, because ideally you will be sending loads of deals and sometime you can forget who you send them to etc...And also, I recommend you hit the agents that you are sending leads to and follow up to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to.Hit me up, we can bounce ideas of each other.

If so, you could talk with them about putting them on a lease, getting an amount up front towards the deposit and then (if they can't do the full amount) making the first x payments increases their security deposit until you hit the full amount. what's in it for them?

Theoretically, this means improved real estate marketing performance and ROI.CurationCuration remains a popular trend, though its value may be suffering due to larger trends, and the obvious need for originality.CrowdfundingNot only is technology creating more efficiency in mortgage lending, it is spawning new financing models altogether.
