Brandt Barnes (mentioned in above comment) heads this up and it is a wealth of info for experienced and newbies investors. 

Thus allowing me to focus more of my time and energy into investing in my brand/ building my own businesses.Obstacle: Currently I am on the hunt for an experienced FHA lender who accepts credit scores between 600-620 (due to having less than 2 years of established credit history and 2 accounts in collections, one is completely paid off but remains on report, the other is from school and is only $991) To build my credit I have 2 credit cards, I only utilize 10% monthly and pay in full & on time.

They are designed to get you in the game, experience what you are experiencing, and then get you to run to them for help.Once you are under their spell, they'll convince you that you need to buy their training packages, starting with a 3-day seminar in a hotel someplace for $997 to $1,497 where they'll promise you that you'll learn all about everything in real estate.  

 Hello,Hopefully so me of the experienced BP members can help me.Scenario: buy house for owner occupy.

Any experienced real estate wholesalers please help.

I do not believe we have experienced a default on payments for the 80 years we have operated, but in such an instance the cooperative has right of first takeover, which banks understandably would not agree to.

So, what I'm asking is that if there are any experienced investors in the Eagle River/Anchorage area , especially ones with experience in small multi-family rental units, who would like to get some coffee on my dollar, I'd love to pick your brain for a bit.

Either way, I'm looking for spreads ;)Tony,Yes, Vancouver is experiencing an even frothier market than Toronto and has become the second least affordable city on the planet after Hong Kong for housing (11+ times household income).  

I could not disagree more with those who disparage free advice, especially that given here on BP by experienced investors who want to help others, especially those just starting out.  

I want to learn from more experienced investors and I'll be more than willing to help out with whatever that may be needed, as volunteering or being paid.
