i work s a realtor and investor.as a realtor, i mainly sell residential and have lots of REO experience.

Mainly investors who buy and hold properties.

Hey Daria,We read different peoples opinions on whom to go with, not your main bank or with your main bank, in the end we chose our main which was Wells Fargo.

I was told to get a HELOC, it had to be my main residence.

Arizona Focus Realty handles vacation properties exclusively, and work mainly in the East Valley.  

(Mainly for rental properties)

I live in Manhattan now, but am originally from Temecula, CA and understand my market and the market in So Cal are not good for us as Rookie Investors... let's not let that deter us from our main goal. 

For identification, acquisition, project mgt, sale/rent and property management, I would ask for at least 25% if not more.I was on the investor side for the first deal I did (mainly for experience), where I funded the purchase (cash) and my partner found the property, did project mgt and a little property mgt and paid for the rehab (about 20% of overall cost).

As I think about creative ways to obtain my first property, I can't help but think a little outside the box.I own a lawn maintenance business and while we mainly deal with residential (better money), the company can handle small to mid sized commercial properties.

Hello I'm interested in learning about and possibly getting started in real estate investing.Lisa Hill
