But be prepared for ARMs.

I have done a ton of research as I am a bit of an over preparer and not the jump in and learn on the fly type but the reality is that I have been focusing on educating myself for only about 3 months actively.

@Gautam VenkatesanNASB also have other programs such as 20-yr fixed loans at little higher rates.

It's not rocket science and their PIG (yeah, bad name) program I think is pricey around $10k or more which you will get the upsell on most likely.For their SFR division they just find "good" deals from their in-house brokerage and present them to their PIG clients but not the junior membership which I forgot what that deal was.

There may be a way to track real estate properly on this program, but it sure isn't intuitive.

I'm a recovering i-banker who is getting ready to start an MBA program this fall, and looking to invest in real estate before going back to school.I'm focused on investing in my hometown, St.

Be mentally and financially prepared for speed bumps, road blocks, riots, fires, eathquakes and floods.

If I have a valuation on the property I can prepare myself to put it together.There are no multi unit comps over the last year to use as a valuation.

I'm sure you if search around the BP forum you will find alot of people who have spent thousands on REI programs/mentorship, only to find out when it's to late, that they were a waste of money and time.

Work with a broker who will actually teach you notes (rare because they usually teach what they want you to know in dealing with them) another way is to self study by looking at various brokerage sites, talking with other investors and reading the note forums, the last way is to pay some guru who may take you down a path of showing you some method that is often expensive.To my knowledge, there aren't any "note schools" or education programs that do not have some vested interest in how you do things or where you invest......that may change soon.Non-performing loans can be worthless.
