Hi, my name is Shad Lorenz and I am a 12 year Army Veteran, 10 year small business owner with a Bachelor’s degree in photography looking to start my journey in Real Estate Investing with my wife Beth Lorenz. 

For investment properties you should be using private/hard money lenders, but if it's a primary or you have a long window of time to secure the financing then traditional may be the way.Overall, it should be easier to get approved via creative financing though as there are options and workarounds for nearly every scenario (they just may cost more the more creative you need to get).

Anyone doing any multifamily project and looking for any partners would be awesome.Thank you in Advance.Hi Lovepreet, I’m looking to invest in the multifamily space in Alberta as well.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

My advice, if you want to invest in STRs, is to go to vacation destinations, think National Parks, beach towns, etc, where the laws are STR friendly.

I am looking to get started in real estate investing in Northern New Jersey. 

I'm looking to purchase my first investment property in the Columbus or Cleveland area.I don't have money for the down payment so would it be okay to get a personal loan?

This gives us the ability to help our clients structure creative investment deals as attorneys and help them close those transactions smoothly. 

I am in a position where I am actively looking to complete my first investment purchase. 

This doesn’t occur often, but the deal is so good, just a few of these in the course of your real estate investing career will turbo charge your pathway to large net worth.Since examples can provide clarity, I’ll provide two examplesA number of years ago (7 years) I was approached about purchasing a note from a property owner who sold his retail center and carried back a $500k note, current principal $476,000.
