I am about to get my real estate license (will be an investor friendly realtor in a week) but it was more or less to learn everything I can to be an affective investor and realtor.

As a tenant myself, who is just about to buy her first property...landlords who are responsive, friendly, and actually care when I have an issue make me very happy.

Looking for a licensed contractor who does quality work and is flip budget friendly, creative with sourcing materials, etc.  

I read through the Ultimate Beginner's Guide and the multi-family property investing seemed like the kind of investing I would be interested in (duplexes and triplexes) and potentially house flipping.I have some background in real estate investing - primarily doing accounting work for individuals and commercial real estate developers. 

I actually do have some friends and family who would want to become equity partners.

So, a friend of mine, let's call him Marcus, is asking me for advice. 

My wife was p*ssed.3/24/16: Found BP and posted this thread: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/29...04/01/16: Filed certificate a sale despite most of my friends, family, and coworkers telling me it was a bad idea.05/01/16: Paid my first lawyer bill (yikes!).

If you need more funding, maybe reach out to friends or family? 

You want to be friendly but not chummy.

@Emmett McNulty and I have been friends for a long time but life took us in different directions for the last many years; as it does.
