Sometimes we make choices because of preferences and not the raw numbers, and that's totally fine!

I would recommend taking their practice exams until you can reach a score of 80-90% and you'll be fine for the exam.

Personally I avoid doing anything illegal that would carry a conviction or a fine or put my license at risk, but look at how many real estate investors use cheater signs to market their business, even though in most areas they risk a class one misdemeanor or worst to do so.I will PM you a name and number of an attorney in our area who I believe has represented investors in DPOR complaints before. 

But if it was a HELOC that's fine, because you still have access to the credit -- which you wouldn't if you'd obtained the funds by refinancing.

We ran into a few surprises during this time:Our lender, who had previously said we could use multiple sub-contractors through the rehab-loan process, changed their tune and demanded a single contractor be used.

@Gino Gonzales I would encourage you to be careful riding the fine line or joint venture and syndication.

Just a Note on the 2020 Conference When booking a room at the Shereton you have to tell them that "BiggerPockets is one word" or they will not fine it.

Obviously being handy would help you but Im sure doing the easy stuff like paiting, demo, and trash haul would be fine for them.  

Another way is to be a guest at a BNI event and since they're in tune with local businesses, they can help you connect with some small business owners looking for leases also. 

It’s fine, if this approach works for you.
