Don't know what the testing fees are, but unless they are extravagant, I can't imagine them being a deterrent either.I'm in Virginia, if it makes any difference.Thanks for the help.

There are occasional BP meetups as well.

Jason,I occasionally see listings in my area that say "seller's _____ is a licensed agent", where you can fill in the blank with a variety of family member relationships (brother, husband, etc).

Other than occasionally having to ask yourself, "do you really need that", it's not much of a sacrifice - we're pretty happy with what we have.

I don't get too many "young singles" but I do get occasional "empty nester" tenants who either want to (or need to) downsize.

We do the occasional multi family too.  

I have however purchased and sold a townhouse that was my primary residence for a few years, helped my wife renovate and sell her townhouse, and we just recently (within the past year) purchased a SFH that we live in with our kids.My main interests are buy & hold properties, with perhaps doing the occasional flip on the side.

In addition, we occasionally get individuals that “know someone” that’s done business with us and because of the unique approach new investors can get confused on the process we follow.So here’s a breakdown of questions and concerns that frequently come up. 1.First and foremost, if you are a customer and you’ve had an experience that’s caused you any frustration we’d invite you to contact us directly and give us an opportunity to resolve your concerns. 2.Most Hard Money Lenders require 10-20% Down, decent credit and some experience.

Occasionally I can feel like this- when it seems that so many people are busy investing, and we are just getting started...

It's a great resource if you utilize it... or as in my case, even if you only check in occasionally.
