The concept has already been proven & my success is based on persistence Not luck.No, I don't need to convince myself that my strategy will work.

Now that we are in what I consider an off season compared to spring-summer, I will most likely be buying and will better recognize a good value than prior to my market research.

While I've found some interesting methods to display the factors, some may as well be a four dimensional pretzel.With a more clear picture of all that's involved, I'll work on applying my relationship network to the picture so I may recognize areas which need improvement and/or knowledge gain.

I have over 14 years of experience in commercial real estate finance with proven success in lending on multi-family, condo, hotel, retail, and office properties.Thanks,Andrew

In terms of not taking crazy risks I feel with my education (JD/MBA) and construction experience (4 years running my own company) I have the tools to evaluate the financials of a deal to not do anything stupid even though I recognize I've got a lot to learn.

Because that's what I'm finding hard to get my head round being of such a 'young' age in the eyes of lenders.I was thinking about getting started with the more traditional bank route, but after I've come up with a formula that's proven to generate (reliable and predictable) positive cash flow move into the sphere of investors.

It has to do with an interesting aspect of leverage that not one in a thousand business owners, CEOs or accountants ever recognize -- and those are the intangible assets. 

And, then the Escrow Company will recognize this transaction?

Now that we have YouTube, the actual work part will be much easier for you than it was for me, especially because as I'm also a woman, I had to learn how to recognize bad (chauvinistic) advice when I was getting it.

But I do recognize that I'll probably have to start out investing in cheaper markets outside of CA.My credit is shot.
