This experience was great and opened my eyes to the world of Real Estate.

Hello Everyone,
I bought a home back in January 2024 using my FHA loan and I received a call from Atlantic Capital Funding saying that I could FHA streamline (interest reduction) from my 6.625% to 5.7% and could even...

I also understand id be splitting the reward/ rent but that's why I think if I can pay 50% with him or 100% alone then is minimizes a lot of my risk. cast your vote and help me out, ahah I'm new here and to the world or real-estate so take it easy on me please.

They are use to this response, trust me!...  

Spoke with a guy who has invested in Real Estate for 30 years and is looking to sell some of his investments at the end of this year or beginning of next year. 

No clue, my guess would be no since they have accepted the return of the deposit, but check with a real estate lawyer in your state because I'm just guessing here.

@Shaun BeckRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

In reality to be successful in real estate you need knowledge of real estate principles, real estate finance, real estate law, and real estate practices.

However, during that time period, they were supposedly renting from a family member, so I don't fully trust that.So, most likely the applicant was being dishonest.

@Chris Seveney This is a lower income area, and not to say people cannot be trusted, but sometimes renters are not the most trustworthy.
