The Rich Dad guy..

So far I've done 9 deals total through crowdfunding. 3 have been individual assets and 6 have been funds (a mix of commercial, retail, multifamily, and single family). 

Her lawyer is getting rich off of her instead and trying to loophole/technicality her way into a free house.

I mean there are tons of websites and gurus out there that want a newbie to just pay a certain amount of money so they can eventually be lead down the road to untold riches.

Maybe you should present this to a couple local mortgage brokers, they will have a larger contact list then you and they will only have to run your credit once vs going to each individual bank.  

Im halfway through reading (listening) the 5 books that Brandon Turner recommended in a recent post:- Rich Dad Poor Dad, - The 4 hour workweek, - The total money makeover, - The Lean Startup, and - The One Thing - The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary ResultsAnother book i recommend is The ABCs of Real Estate Investing by Ken McElroyAnyways hopefully I've informed some people who will find this useful!

Please keep in mind there is a big difference between a portfolio loan and an individual 30 yr fixed.

The main differences being that hard money comes from an institution as opposed to a private individual. 

This article's focus is on forward-looking expectations of individual housing markets.

I have been investing in the stock market for as long as I can remember and my second read of Rich Dad, Poor Dad made me deeply revisit what I want in this life.
