I was initially planning on buying an investment condo with 20% down on a conventional loan, then buying my homestead in a few months with a 3.5% FHA loan while renting out the other rooms to friends. 

Another thing, google is your best friend.

On top of this I have a decent paying job that is also producing enough where even if I didn't have that 250k I think I could start with something smaller, maybe even partnering with a friend who's similarly interested in getting into real estate.

We also caught a lot of lucky breaks along the way like: a very friendly banker, access to private loans from partners and family, baby booms looking to move out of state and off load property at cost.

They don't have much to their name and I found the house through a friend who knows the family so I'm just trying to give them a smooth transition and figured 1 month to get it together would be enough.

Hey guys,I’m looking for an investor friendly real estate agent.  

I was interested in finding a real estate friendly attorney who have experience in Assigning contracts!

Do you have family or friends anywhere else that you could check out?

I would like to get some ideas from you experienced RE investors out there on structuring a partnership my friend and I about to enter into.We (two of us) are planning to form an LLC with some cash and start buying multi-unit properties out of state (we're in CA currently).

Thank you a lot guys, been trying to build up contacts that are investor friendly and reliable before I go make the first move on a deal.
