Hello BP, I am a new member also a new to the real estate game.

Some money on books and time listening to podcast can help you focus your game plan, energy and money to achieve your goals. 

It's been a rough couple of months, personally, but I'm back in the game, focused...encouraged...encouraging (more importantly)...and on a mission!!

John, from your profile you seem to have much experience in the multi family/ buy and hold game.

You either need to be the boots on the ground or have someone you trust to be your boots in those markets, especially if you are new to the game. 

Once I figured out that I wanted to be a landlord, I started researching books and internet to learn more and that’s when I came across Millionaire Real Estate Investor book and Biggerpockets blog.

It will be a presentation that will help you lock in your game plan for 2016!

Hello All,Like most I am a new to the game of real estate whole selling.

A large part of the game = Patience! 

In addition, HMLs will charge you interest per month (holding costs) ranging anywhere from 9% - 18% along with "points" (origination fee) - 1 point is equivalent to 1%.With that said, nowadays, most HMLs require you to have some type of "skin in the game" or a downpayment on the loan so the HML doesn't have to take on all of the risk.
