Realizing where I am in my investing career, realizing that this is completely uncharted waters for me, realizing that I still have a rent to pay and a family to feed, that I HAVE to keep my budget as low as possible until I see some sort of upswing (even just a few hundred bucks), and most of all realizing that we all started from somewhere.

Does anyone have any good advice or feed back from funding their deals through a hard money lender?

Thanks for the feed back y'all!

A realtor is going to put your house on MLS in order to find a tenant and MLS is going to feed to all the regular sites like Hotpads, Zillow, Redfin etc.

thank you everyone for your feed back I greatly appreciate the advice

So now that I've written a book, I want to thank everyone who posts in biggerpockets for feeding my obsession.  

Thank you all for the feed back.

Take control of your business and your ability to feed your family by becoming a Realtor yourself.

Home Buyers need lease option financing now.INMO, even if there is risk for the Owner that the TBer will not get financing soon, at least their PITI Payment will get paid (or most of it) and they will avoid a distressed sale.Is this better than the Seller renting to an unproven tenant and feeding the difference of rent - property manager fees and - maintenance?

Thanks for the welcome and all the feed back.Bernie
