@David Rhame To get started and having bad credit, you will need money to put into the deal, and find a seller that is motivated and will carry financing for you.What exactly are your strengths, and skills?

I'm also not opposed to working in two places at once, provided there is benefit to be had by everyone.If anyone is in need of a little extra help, or knows someone who does, and doesn't mind sharing some tricks of the trade, please don't hesitate to get in touch, and I will gladly send you my resume.Thanks in advance!
