Andrew, I am a senior now taking my classes online to focus on my businesses but I have some firsthand experience that I hope helps you out.

I get the general concept but I couldn't find great information online about how it worked in my area.

Have you thought about looking  at an online Brokerage in your state who only charges a fee per transaction closed? 

Looks like the city council has a meeting scheduled for Thursday on the topic which you can usually watch online here (http://cityofslt.us/index.aspx?

Sounds like you are on your way to killing the game already! 

@kevin hunter really appreciate the advice boss I’m actually prequalified by vets United and I got my letter, just need to finish the last things in there to do list, I’ve also been in contact with an agent for the last week out in the 29 palms area so I’m stepping game up in every way you just described thanks boss man !

Again, I'm new to the game so maybe my calculations are off. 

(we will both put even amount of down payment -skin in the game)  Can we both apply for the loan or is it better to have one person finance? 

I've started looking for deals alone mainly online through Zillow & Realtor and also have drove around looking at properties - haven't found anything yet but its been good practice so far trying to analyze deals!

Darryl Lackey - if you want to invest in notes you will need to learn the game which if you ask people takes a year + to really get solidified in getting your systems in place.
