She is a wonderful business women, great wife, and an even better mother!!!!!

I've made some investments so far (401 (k), Roth, stocks, life insurance..) but it's time that I start investing in what I've always wanted to...Real Estate.I plan on spending the next few months delving into BiggerPockets...articles, forums, blogs etc...I want to start with an owner-occupied multi-family, and branch out from there.At this point I'm looking for any advice from the mavericks, the men/women who have been in my shoes at one point or another....Any and all advice would be appreciated.Thanks, heaps!

I suggest you go to a mortgage originator/lender and spend a few minutes to be pre-qualified and explain your circumstances.

If the circumstances warrant it, I'd use a bridge for the first 12-18 months followed by CMBS or agency financing for the permanent component.I think your model is great as long as you have the investors for it, sellers that go along with the entity acquisition model, and the lenders to do the 223F.

I missed the last one and this time I have the night off of work and I'll be there. I'll either be sleepy or wired on coffee but I'll be there. First actual investor meeting for me :)

There are a lot of people out there who do not have the time to invest, but given the right circumstances would be willing to lend money for a return.

You did it no matter what your circumstance and no matter what anyone else thought - you made your dream come true.

Just keep in mind that you guys will not agree on everything and if God forbid one of you could not fulfill the financial obligations down the line because of unforeseen circumstances, the other investor will hold the responsibility of maintaining the investment or risk loosing it altogether.

They basically said I failed to prove a special circumstance that required the 8 ft. height.

Make sure you have enough money to hold you over for unforeseen circumstances and time.
