However, what I still don’t have is knowledge of the basic nuts and bolts of notes investing; although, Note Camp did a really good job of hosting some sessions where they walked through some basics in detail.

@Russell Brazil Got it... unfortunately no exemption but we did get a lower rate (slightly).

Tools: Disabled Vet - No funding fee, + d.v income, high VA loan limit SFR-Multi, 100k + base salary, good (enough) credit, 61k of entitlement x 4= 244k loan limit guarantee left before down payment.Some ideas I have: Purchase a distressed Multi Unit & Renovate (a tough nut to crack), Buy land & use a va construction loan for a multi, could use a HELOC from my SFR if I need funds.

@Russell Brazil Thanks

So, that in a nut shell is my story.Hope you can learn something from it but one of the biggest challenges I faced was finding people to do the work.

I just haven't cracked that nut.

@Russell Brazil, Very useful insight. 

Deidron Clouden,While scripts are highly recommended to help you have a plan of attack, may I recommend primarily focusing on having a conversation with the seller with a list of key points to cover at hand.Can you imagine how many nuts the seller has delt with after placing the Craig's List ad.

To crack that nut requires a singular focus on contacting all the brokers in your area and proving to them that you can close on deals if ever they find a good one for you.Due to my track record, brokers bring me off-market deals.
