I would like to set myself up to start investing in real estate, but currently I don’t even own a primary.

Proximity is key.  

For those who’ve used private money for multiple flips, how has it impacted your ability to scale? Are there any pitfalls you’ve encountered? Let’s talk strategies and lessons learned!

I also organized the local real estate investor meet-up.

Owner has 180 days to redeem and my purchase price would be paid back if he does so.I see two key risks I am worried about:1) Owner stops paying the mortgage and bank initiates foreclosure. 

I owned a real estate franchise here in Bocas for many years and recently sold it.

This is what I would do if starting out in real estate and wanted to buy my own home and start getting rental income and experience.

When the 1st notice goes out, we have about 90 days minimum to fix.The key is disclosure, disclosure, disclosure. 

I've found that what I value most in regards to real estate investing are the people who know about actual home repair and can approach a sale from that perspective.

I just got a PO Box for a non real estate LLC.
