Having that cash flow while taking care of my housing needs in order to move out my parents house would be great.I'm not sure what other options are available that I can look for, if I'm not approved by this lender. 

When you partner you give up profit, do things yourself but this doesn't look like a deal to donate any brain damage to. :)

(FYI...My son and I are going to invest together....I've been the parent/co-signer,lost every deposit mom for 5 years of said son (lol), and plan to start with student housing in Sonoma where he lives and will occupy the SFH 1st property.)Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

A friend's parents are retiring and moving out of the area.

Since this was my first time working with my lender, he asked to see my quotes and referred me to get a second quote, saving me 5k in a tile job that I wouldn't have picked up on since the quote came from a guy that's worked with both me and my parents in the past.

He has represented my family in three transactions (parents, sister, and brother) and they all have nothing but great things to say about him!

I've got enough money saved up to start a project when I get the chance though.My current hesitation is if I'm getting into buy-and-hold, its scary to do my first properties in the hurricane zone that I live in, because I can just imagine that when I deploy even if everything is well-managed by property managers or something, I'll still have worrying in the back of my head, and I don't want that distraction while on mission.My current thought is to study for a California license (where my parents live and where I went to highschool), and then once I get out of Pensacola and maybe stationed somewhere in CA I can start going at it (obviously location isn't entirely under my control, but that's what I've been thinking regardless).

Alexander Lang I was thinking that too but then again I could just continue living with my parents for free I mostly just trying to figure out how I'm going to finance the first deal

Hi guys,I'm brand new to real estate investing.I'm going to school in a college town that has a good market of both students (with big money parents), and a large local community. 

He was trying to be nice and cut him a deal on the car but after it was sold, the minor damaged the vehicle and now his parents are threatening to sue on the grounds that a minor cannot enter into a contract but they helped him procure a loan for the said purchase.
