Joining bigger pockets is a great step in building a network and gaining knowledge.

My current role invovles analyzing loan profitability, assesing portfolio risk and designing new process/methodology to maximize profits for my employer. i work scpecifically with mortgages, so i have seen and gain a deep understanding on how a mortgage work and the profits behind them. that said, it made me realize that if i couldn't be a lender i could probably an investor or whosaler to maximize my cash flow. i plan to be financial independant by the time i am 45. i am now 32, so i only have 13 years left the clock is thicking!

I am a dedicated rookie investor with more than 5 years experience working under mentors as a volunteer to gain experience.

And, of course, networking is also another reason why I'm here.For now I'm interested in investing in rental properties (thinking of turnkeys right now - due to time constrains) and maybe flipping after I gain some experience and feel more comfortable about it.

(There may be longer fixed-rate products, I'm just not aware of them yet.)One advantage of 5-units and up, is that the appraisal will place more weight on the Income Approach.  

By giving them the google voice number and password, he sees the leads coming in, gains confidence in hitting a $500 deal for himself. 

It makes more sense to sell the deal to another flipper who is ready to reinvest and put thier GC or subs back to work as well as defere the capital gains. 

Thereby incurring less closing costs and gaining the ability to lock in a rate?

I worked two days and had two rooms looking,  well, the home sold and I received a bonus...I am working on my own flips to gain capital for rentals. 

It was great to meet others and I gained some valuable information.
