However, for me personally, I have quickly learned that I will need to acquire apartment buildings to reach my personal real estate goals.

Since there arent' a lot of houses available, should you squeeze all you can out of the houses you are able to acquire?

Is it possible to acquire a loan like this without being a contractor?

But it may pay off more eventually as I learn more and be able to acquire MORE properties.
