The issue is you can't provide sweat equity, or in other words you can't do the work personally or hire a company you own to do the work etc.

I recommend you set key word alerts and continue to ask questions and network here.Pyrrha

I'd like to suggest you fill out your key word alerts, maybe: new construction, spec, san antonio, texas to name a few!

I just have to add one word “BANKS!”

You will want to see the wording.

I personally dislike the word "GURU"....something about it just does not sound right.Anyway,  I would suggest you take your savings, combine with FHA 203k, get the grants you mention and buy your OO/Investment property.Once you get started, I am sure everything else will fall into place, remember BP  has the answers to most of your questions.Good luck to you!!

The word 'try' is not acceptable as it gives you an out.

If you're stumbling over your words or your conversational flow is choppy because you're trying to read a script then you aren't giving the perception that you know what you're talking about and that you are truly a solution to the sellers problems.2. you don't sound trusting. 

Intimidating isn't the right word, but close enough.

I am exploring possibilities of out of state.I would appreciate you sharing your out of state investing experience and possible word of wisdom on how to approach this without expensive lessonsPerhaps, There are opportunities in partnership or cooperation on the projectKind RegardsLeonidHermosa BeAch, CA
