Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

And while nothing is foolproof the most consistent method of finding good vendors is relying on OTHER real estate investors that have worked with those vendors.

The deal was identified by my real estate agent and requires a quick closing.How did you finance this deal?

As a professional property manager for going on 20 years and a real estate investor, I still encourage people to manage for themselves. 

I have used both TSP loan and HELOC to purchase investment...I certainly thought the ROI from real estate was better than relying on highly fluctuating stock market. 

With your real estate background in TX and NC, you’re in a great position to transition into investing.

Real estate is a wealthy persons game. 

As a real estate agent, I have helped clients who didn't live in the area find homes and land.

I’ve been in the real estate game for a while, and as the CFO of [Your Company Name], I usually stick to what we know best: developing and managing Class B multifamily projects—20-50 unit properties in rural southeast US, like Georgia or Alabama.

This was my second foray into real estate investing, the previous one being through a “full service” turnkey provider.
