To your question, it makes sense to keep things semi-formal but "canned" You don't want to site any specific reasons related to possible fair housing or discrimination.

You don't say what type of investing you're interested in, so going on most downloaded episodes, I'd recommend Episode 200 - How to Buy Your First Investment Property, Episode 223 Set for Life with Scott Trench, Episode 221 - Rental Properties with Tim Shiner.More recent episodes are Episode 260 - Negotiation with Chris Voss, Episode 276 Early Retirement by Age 35 with Bryce Stewart and Episode 238 Becoming a Real Estate Millionaire and a Teacher's Salary with Michael Swann.

First, I commend you for taking the very first step in your real estate investing career...and that is reaching out to experienced investors on BiggerPockets for advice and guidance.Second, you are in a great position with your credit being the way it is, the money you have saved up, and the increase in salary at your job.What I would do if I were you is to take this time (since you've been in it all of one month or so now) to learn everything there is to know about real estate as it relates to the niche you are trying to pursue.

This explanation for this was that the house can not be reappraised at a higher value related to purchase price, for one year.
