(I have the Series 7 and Series 63 securities licenses so I understand sponsorship).My question is how to I approach a broker to get licensed?

But quite honestly, biggerpockets forum gives me hope in humanity... amazing ppl that are willing to help each other to make money and become financially secure. that is pretty awesome.  .. sorry if tats too deep :) haha   Perhaps once I get situated with where I will be living, we can get together and talk investment, if your still up for it :)@John Kent - how do i get in touch with the investment groups you mentioned?

My LOC is secured through the F&C property at 80% LTV at 5% interest only payments for 1 year.

If you had the cash to buy outright on one deal, versus using the same capital to fund financing on 3 or 4 more property deals....wouldn't it be more secure and better long term for rentals if you just bought outright one property in cash?

You can also rent it subject to you vacating, take a security deposit and sign a lease with the prospective tenant and submit copies of both to your conventional lender  for your o/o loan.

Do I have to secure the property first and then get quotes?

A 20-something with no college what-so-ever, I feel fortunate to have secure employment like I do.

I just rented one unit out and put in smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm.

You need to have someone secure the property immediately or coincidentally, your furnace, HW Heater, and copper will come up missing within days of their moving.  

Are you doing a year-to-year lease or are you able to secure secure a longer term lease?
