I dont know but i feel that im missing something to do deals, its been months and its really driving me nuts that figuring out what needs to be done to do deals from finding them to funds to actually seeing the "due diligence" happen.

I heard on the latest podcast with Russell Brazil (a RE broker and investor in the DMV area) that he owns a couple of condos that cash flow really well.

My family thinks I am nuts for wanting to invest my time, money, and energy into real estate but I know its the path to financial freedom.Can anyone direct me to any private money lenders?  

This will give you a free education on the anatomy and nuts and bolts of a deal while putting some money in your pocket.If your deals are good there will be an investor to partner with on the back end.

@Russell Brazil nailed it.

Those are harder nuts to crack and the commissions tend to be lower.

I bought a short sale in an attempt to get a little bit of a deal since the market here in Seattle/Tacoma area is pretty nuts.

Prices have gotten nuts in Culver City which used to be affordable , but now I see homes are over $1 for smallish homes..Does the property currently cash flow?

@Russell Brazil Absolutely..

@Russell Brazil thank you.
