Welcome Levi, nice to add more international flavor to BP Nation!

I look forward to being a resource in answering questions on commercial real estate finance (debt and equity), asset management, property management, work-outs, international mortgages, and all things CRE.

My mom is 42 and still has my brother who is in college with 2 years left and my sister who is 10 y/o that is still living in the home.

I rent to a lot of college students and find that the two bedrooms result in much less drama.

Your best bet is to farm a few zip codes in your target market and find a distressed seller and handle the short sale internally.

I'd love to get your knowledge.Studying is great (feel free to check out my website if you're interested in rehabbing), but eventually you'll need to get out there and gain some real-world experience...and you're going to need to devote some time to that...When you're ready to start getting real-world experience, I highly recommend finding a successful investor doing whatever it is you want to do, and offer to work for him/her for free for 6 months -- even if it means getting coffee, doing errands or whatever -- in return for them training/teaching you.People think it's perfectly reasonable to go to school for many years to learn the ins and outs of their trade/career, yet can't seem to fathom spending 6 months devoting their time interning for free to gain real world experience.

I am a junior in college and found a condo unit where the PITI is almost the same as my current rent.

Our assets are around $50,000, but that also includes things like IRAs, TSPs, a brokerage account, and College Savings accounts, which can cause penalties, etc.
