The biggest mistake new people make is that they think they need their own cash or credit.

You will need a hard money source and that can be very difficult to find in your situation.

We have some great lenders that can do our first 4 deals, and we have one source, a small bank in the Midwest, that can do up to 8.

Our biggest problem at the moment is the 4 mortgage rule, but we are working on that!

Find other deal sources.

Some of the sources said that Dubai seems to be stabilizing thereby compressing rental yields.

Right now this issue is my biggest hurdle -even bigger than finding deals.

The biggest complaint i had trying to sell my house was all the phone calls from realtors telling me I should not be doing this.

This is the biggest mistake I see new investors making.

well due to the whole financial crisis and government takeover of one of our biggest mortgage lenders all the mortgage companies made their lending policies extremely strict and realistically now a buyer needs to have around 20-30% deposit for most lenders. they also generally will not lend more than 2.5 times the amount you earn in a year. then the introduction of hips (home information packs) august 2007 caused a huge flood of houses being put on the market because people wanted to avoid the cost of the hips this meant that values of houses dropped drastically and a hell of a lot of people went into negative equity and in 1 month in particular house prices went down by 9%...in a MONTH!!
