No need to go out of state when you live in the Rust Belt’s best turnaround story.

(I don’t even drink so it’s rough, but good $ lol) well at least now I have two properties under my belt, and I learned a lot and have experience in STR.

Or should get some deals under my belt before pursuing hard money lenders?

This most of the time is not true; if it is they may be working with people who have one or two properties under their belt and do not treat real estate like a business or a wealth building tool.

Not bashing contractors, I had my belt on for 12 years and know great contractors, it just gets too easy to over pay, especially if you have no idea of material or labor cost like I have no idea of many abbreviations being used on this chat, I’ve just joined about 2 hours ago and I’m pretty excited about some contacts I could be meeting.

I'm working on my PMP (in addition to full time school for a bachelor's in software development) and looking at the black belt in six sigma.

It may take more than one property under my belt. 

It’s great to have your first Brrrr deal under your belt and much success to you.

Once you have a few under your belt, you can start pulling out equity to grab more rentals.
