Last, was one similar to what you'd seen...looking for an apprentice for some type of monetary return.

Im a newbie and need your advise.

to me, it became more than just investing in real estate. my company owns some real estate, but i just came to see the BIG picture. for me, i respected those that created their own rules...meaning, they looked past all the brokers and other people trying to make money off of them and learned how to make the rules work in their favor.that takes some time to figure out and i'm still figuring it out.if you make a conscious decision to do this everyday, at least 6 days a week - slowly, you'll get to a point where you'll achieve monetary success.it's the little successes and things you learn that make the difference.

Newbie here, can anyone advise what is best for webites.

I have already been advised by a number of mortgage brokers that getting a mortgage for primary residency will not be a problem as I will be putting down 30%.

Good luck.Great advise Minna, just remodeling my bathroom this month cost nearly 25% more than I anticipated, and for a while, it seemed like every task I took on created 10 more in it's wake.

Any advise for dealing with a private lender?

This is definitely not advisable.

He advised that the owner is willing to hold the property with a down payment if I am willing to pursue the separation of the deeds.

But it sounds like in this case they're about to come into a great deal of money, and you might only need like $10k of that money to get your first flip off the ground.But my friend, please do not advise them to lease option.
