Great opportunity to have more cash in hand and invest in bigger projects but is there a formula to follow?

Every deal is different and there are lots of opportunities if you find a great property.With that said, I have done 100% loans to repeat borrowers that find a great deal such as where my loan would cover 100% of his purchase and renovation, and still only be around 50% LTV!

There is a lot of opportunities not in the grey area so we suggest pursuing them. 

That looks like a decent opportunity just based on those numbers-are you sure of their accuracy, or just what you got from agent/seller?

This community is such a supportive resource, and the opportunities for education are rich.

Once you gain the trust of a more experienced investor, it will be much easier to get an opportunity to shadow them and get the hands on learning that you are looking for.

Would you make this a solo venture and accept that mistakes (i.e. learning opportunities) will be made along the way?

Renting), and now our rent/utilities are so small that we are able to look at using our funds for other opportunities - aka real estate investing!

From the options I’ve seen, one allows you to hang your license to primarily use it for your own investment activities, another is a solid/more aggressive investor that teaches you how to work with distressed owners and turn that into a wholesale opportunity, listing etc., and I think the other one is more of a mix of those two.

I was leaning towards waiting to see how the first one went to get some comfortability; But I also don’t want to miss out on the possible opportunities.
