Just be really careful.As an example, when I raise money from investors for a real estate offering, the investors get most of the profits AND my firm (the sponsor) is on the hook for the loan guarantee. 

I was born and raised in the City and learned about investing techniques when I was in my 20's, now 73 still going strong and doing bigger and more profitable transactions.

You mentioned your first mailing, are you doing yellow letters, or post cards?

So far I have financed all my flips with my HELOC and credit/merchant cards.

Hi @Matt Heidinger I am also from West Palm Beach, born and raised, I have flipped properties and I have a few rental properties.

And I'm nervous about refi-ing the condo, renting it out, and buying a multi-unit bc I'm not sure if I would qualify for a mortgage for the multi-unit because our student loan balance raises our DTI. 

Welcome Maria,First thing I recommend is to get some simple cards that say that you are a real estate investor and that you buy houses.Second, call everyone that you know(friends and family) and have a 3 minute conversation with them letting them know that you are looking to start buying houses and that if they know anyone who is behind on their payments or taxes or someone who has a home that is just sitting there, please let you know.Third, network with other investors at meetups to learn the jargon and see who is buying and the different ways that you can too.

It's like, you want a discount now for something that may or may not happen in the future.It's also humorous because if I have a great deal, who do you think I'm going to call with it, the buyer who's done a number of deals with me and never once asked for a rebate and actually sends me a Christmas card every year, or the new buyer who's bought maybe one property and asks for a discount in the future and right now, with empty promises.

You usually get an extra $50 off for buying more than one, and another 5% off if you use a sears credit card.
