I started investing in real estate about 18 months ago but I have acquired 7 single family homes that I manage myself so just Get In The Game and GO FOR IT!

bottom line is they talk a great game give you terms that you think you found a fold mine..etc.. nothing more than a sophisticated Nigerian  prince scam.

@Karan Malhotra I think @Jay Hinrichs and I are on different pages of the same book.I was probably getting too far in to the weeds to stick with the "general requirements" theme @Timothy Albright set up.I was simply putting the info out there that a hard money lender is going to require some "skin in the game".

Do I receive video of my pre and post make ready?

In case I missed it, are there any forums/videos you would also recommend?

seems like that is a bank refi situation not a raise private money so the owners have little to no skin in the game

I would love to hear some feedback in regards to the steps and roadblocks that may pop up that the books and videos may not teach as well as remain in contact and see where I can add future value. 

They have more skin in the game then you do.Make sure you get clear title.

Never hurts to put up signs staying something like "area under video camera surveillance".  

I'm new to the game and I just wanted to ask If there are any Real Estate clubs within the central Florida area?
