Hello Everyone,I've been reading and collecting information to get involved in Real Estate I'd like to buy my first rental in the next 90 days. 

First Time around - Owner's policySecond Time around - Lender's policy.That is two times around with the same title co.From my experience and when lender is involved, the title co won't clear to close until all liens are cleared and if there is any doubt of any open items out there they will put it on hold until that have cleaned all issues.  

Hi EveryoneI've came across Bigger Pockets via the podcast on YouTube which I've been listening to at work on a regular basis, so I've decided to get more involved and join the community! 

I'm looking for creative ways to be involved and add value to the relationship, but have no experience in commercial property or this position in the deal. 

I know plenty of brokers that are killing it, but running a brokerage is a different ball game than just being an agent.As a caveat - "full time" for me is about 70 hrs / week, which includes about 30 hrs of "commuting"  (which usually involves dirtbike or harley trips). 

(assuming you paid cash and finance the rehab)So yes, you can roll it all together.But keep in mind there will be other costs involved such as closing, holding, financing etc.

I'm betting they won't get any more than $200k. 

Your best bet is to hire a buyer's agent and he will walk you through what's needed in your state.

Thanks @Jeff Engstrom & @Alex Franks, I will definitely be getting involved with some meetup groups when I get there.

My plan is to eventually own a few buildings to provide my retirement income, as well keep me personally involved in the real estate business.I have never owned a whole building before, but as I read books, gather knowledge, and talk to my friends that do own buidings, I feel comfortable with making this transition.
