I use Loopnet & have had been a paid member when I'm actively looking for a property.

I am both relieved and disappointed by this result...

Problem is that in some areas, and regulators, may examine the extent of the commercial activity compared to the type of loan being made.

I am a young 21 year old guy on active duty in the army.

If you look at the UK market let me know as I am active there.

This would allow me to take my time to find my first deal without the stress of wondering how I would make enough money to cover bills.

If so was it a common activity or more of a one-off?

I manage several properties in the Philadelphia area for an investor I know and the market there is very active.

Hence borrowing money is a challenge when your credit file shows very little activity and a short history.

It is the oldest RE website on the net with a large, active community.Again, my only connection is to know some of the people who participate in the discussions and I paid real money to buy the manual.
