If they ask more I’d say real estate focused

I'm a new investor with cash to invest - and I'm not limited to any area, but would prefer to focus on one.

I keep telling myself I won’t buy anymore deals and focus on building up a cash reserve for a rainy day but every time a great deal comes by I am drawn towards it and end up buying it.

Otherwise you may have to go to a hard money lender - they focus on the deal, not your credit.

I have been living in Austin for over 3 years now (obviously love it) and I've been in commercial real estate working as a tenant-rep broker focused on retail properties for the past year.

Latitude Realty is a great boutique brokerage that focuses on that niche, and Encompass Realty is one to check out especially if you are interested in buying properties at auction.

Once i built enough savings from wholesaling and my W-2 job I focused on finding the property matching my exact criteria.

The niches I want to focus on are single and multi-family homes.

Visiting a lot of properties also helped me get "desensitized" to the beauty of some of the properties I have seen so that I could focus mainly on the numbers and the property features.Analyze some potential rental properties even though you do not intent to purchase them.

What systems do you have in place that have saved you time and allowed you to focus on what you do best?
