I've had my share of challenges, including dealing with the ups and downs of the market, but I’m committed to learning and growing.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted - quick update:- Purchased condo in 08/2021, fixed it up and it’s been fully leased since 11/2022- Purchased 2 unit in 10/2022, currently living in one unit and renting the otherI’ve gotten my feet wet, bumped my head, learned a lot - but ready to add to my portfolio.

The worst ones usually don't have any clear cut guidelines (a lot of the underwriters will make up their own rules if they do not like the deal), Suck at communicating (will reply days later), Push aggressive terms to get deals in and then switch them, and Not really motivated to get things done (they will adverse a loan without any hesitation). 

One of my coworkers does a lot of private lending similar to this and he always goes to a title agent in the area of the property and asks for the title's legal department to draft up legal loan documents. 

I actually have it pulled up on my phone right now but didn’t realize the 180 days part.  

Someone will eventually come across an opportunity that works for you.Example: I'm a real estate investor looking for a fixer-upper, single-family home or up to four units.

Once you make good money on your investments in an up market, and you enter a down market, wealth preservation takes precedence.

What were some creative methods you used for privacy? 

One flip I did, I priced with the comps but they were about 4 months old and the market had already went down so the home ended up sitting for a lot longer than I would have liked.

Renewing and raising rents up to market rate in the area.
