If you want a firm answer, you should speak to a real estate attorney.Jon

I am a firm believer that having those funds in an investment that can be accessed for emergencies is the best route to take.

I am 25 and 8 years younger than any of the other partners at my firm, so I know how age can effect things.

Here are the details on one of the acquisition/development financing programs I have available for you or your clients -This loan program is made available through a Leverage Equity/Capital Firm I work with that funds projects worldwide.

People, including many overseas firms who invested in those loans because of the return, now have to wait for 5 years before seeing any type ROI.

Does anyone know of a way to locate a list of contacts to get access to REO properties from lenders, servicers and wall street firms?

Contractor's spend a LOT of time with prospective clients and these are hours that are non productive to the contractor.

Remember that a prospective calculation is only as good as the data you use and even if the data is great it is still only a guess.

:) Then start prospecting for your first deal.

That way if everything goes to hell, I know I won't be moving back in with the parents.Maybe it's just my area (Midwest) but I find it hilarious that the prospect of accumulating half a million dollars of real estate in cash is actually easier than going through the ridiculous process of crafting resumes and cover letters, submitting applications online which aren't even read by humans and are usually immediately denied, going through weeks of interviews, and maybe getting another miserable job.
