Hey ryan i added you on fave book under the name justin michael.

Take the time to educate your self on the BP Calculators (or DealCheck.io is another fave of mine) and KNOW your numbers and returns PRIOR to offering and going under contract.  

The deal needs to have enough fat in it to work for everyone.  

However, it's important to understand that, when they promote a deal, they make their money in fat commissions and have no money to lose if something goes wrong with the project or the market when it comes to that project whereas the investor, has all to lose.

@Patrick VolumI think you should find out what criteria lenders use to give mortgage loans before you quit your W-2.In my experience it is very difficult to get a mortgage without a W-2 and the factor that affects interest rates the most are credit score.So unless you have a portfolio that you can put up as collateral for a loan without a W-2 or a fat bank account.

Most non-real estate investors think that the rest of us are fat cats with tons of dough and that we deserve to get taken down a peg.
