The info you’ve shared is stuff I’d been trying to glean off the internet before I stumbled upon this site.

Hey Mark Pedroza, I'll bet you're right.

I can file and LLC with the state along with articles of incorporation and a operating agreement, both of which I have found on the internet that are simple and geared towards real estate investors.

I would suspect your LLC is brand new in which case no credit is probably just as bad as poor credit and/or the lender would want a personal guarantee.Hard money and private lenders could (and may prefer) to lend to an LLC rather than you personally, but with the same issues I mentioned above.Your best bets are probably to either find a great deal and partner with someone more experienced who can bring the money and you learn from them in exchange for a small part of the profit or find someone in your personal sphere who has idle money and trusts/believes in you to be a private lender.

You bet!

My bet is more toward case #1.

Over the past 25 years, I have seen a shift from traditional banking to internet transactions especially the younger crowd.

I recommend Phoenix as a safe bet for real estate since it is one of the fastest growing cities here in the US and doesn't have as much red tape as in California.Good luck!

Just relax, take it slow, take full advantage of the Internet, libraries and BP!!!

I think my best bet would probably be to go after agents with smaller brokers, but I don't want to limit myself to just those individuals if I don't have to.Do any of you have any experience or insight on pursuing this?
