I am fairly new to investing however I have 6 years as a realtor and 3 years as a loan officer.

With that being said I would like to say that Do Hard Money is a good company to work with, but do not get disillusioned into thinking that you won't need any of your own skin in the game!

If deferred loan payments are possible, (and more importantly, fairly common), it'll go a long way in instilling confidence in this very big move I see myself taking. 

When I first started out, I used to do out of state investments (i still have a out of state rental), but personally, I felt I was so detached form my investment, my education was fairly limited (nothing wrong with that if you want hands off), but if you're wanting to start a property management company, I would be hands on It's not easy starting up a business being hands off.

From a distressed owner then is different, if it was an agreed price and you dealt fairly, when you buy that relieves that seller.

I had to make adjustments (fortunately the one that needed the fastest adjustment was on a month to month) which I implemented over a fairly short term ($190 a month increase within 5 months).

I will point out there is a fair amount of irony the bill is introduced from the state of Texas.  

I'm 24 and fairly new to real estate investing.

. ^^ We have a fairly active group of real estate investors living in Korea focused on investing in Korea, the US and the world. 

I read some books and blogs, but it's fairly low risk, we rent from ourselves.
