. 😊 The one thing I have come to hate about real estate investing is when everyone has their hands out for courses.

I've typically made contacts with brokers as the primary source, but also found some 5-15 unit deals on the MLS via my residential agent.

Is a very cash intensive play but for big earners this is a good investment because with the investment into their properties they are reducing their taxes.

From my point of view you need to separate work and investing by giving them deadlines and sticking to them.

Typically, creative financing is geared toward lowering the capital injection needed to acquire the property which comes at higher risk to the lending entity (thus higher cost) of rate. 

Hello,I am a mortgage broker who does a few personal investment deals a year and used to go to quite a few ct REIA events.

I know it is much harder to find deals in Fort Collins, but I know people are still investing here and having success. 

I moved out from Omaha about 4 years back, but I have a great investment agent there if you want his contact information?
