I'm new at this also and feel I'm ready to start actually looking.

Scrap pipes and metal goes into a different pile behind the barn until I am ready to cash it in or give it to one of my handymen as payment for painting or something.When I rehab a house, everything was done by the prior owners before I purchased it.

For getting a unit ready between tenants, I have a list of professionals.

I hope you got this number from a contractor (preferably one that is capable and ready to do the work) as, once again, it will add to your credibility.

It would help real estate agents to sell investments if they could refer their buyers to a rehab team all ready to go that did good work, performed on schedule, and was honest.

She told me to contact her when I have a house that I'm ready to purchase, even though I'm not using a relator.

Seems a lot of companies ready to bring you on board and collect their fees, but, little specifics on the nitty gritty.

Any bank is going to want at least 20% down on a commercial loan and many are now asking 30%.You might have to do a couple of a different type of deal and save your profits up until you have the down payment for a multi.When you are ready to buy a commercial property, the bank will use the income from the property to decide how much you can borrow.

I’m ready to begin my journey into Real Estate Investing and look to join the ranks and share my experiences.

Personally, if the property cashflows positive I would do the deal if I liked the area and the property does what I want it to do (IE cash flows good, or has equity to pull from for other deals, or ready to flip with minor work) Have you considered using a 30 year note instead of a 20?
