I was in love with micro lending until the account hit 5 digits and I started to get nervous, so I opened a Prosper account to build that and when that hit 5 figures I started saving for my first rental. 

To be honest, I am currently in the saving / researching phase right now.  

Mark, welcome aboard.BP is a great conduit for RE investment advice and insights.My company is both a private buyer and private lender on lower ARV $ properties throughout the U.S. 

As we prep and save, we are here to learn all we can about the Boston, North Shore MA and national markets (also interested in NC markets).

If you have been at it long enough to have all the returns and financials the bank needs, but still have no luck securing the funds, Hard, Private or Asset Based loans are going to be your best bet.  

Although my company is based in CA and IL, we are both buyers and private lenders on lower $ ARV SFR properties throughout the U.S.Best of luck and continued success.

Hi, just wondering what type of properties two recent college grads, with about 40K in saved money can invest in (in terms of rental/student housing), in order to start acquiring properties while also working at our full time jobs.

I recently attended a seminar talking about reverse wholesaling, getting money from private money lenders etc.

Try to find some private $ through your contacts. 

I have been able to save about $20k and am ready to purchase something that will supplement our monthly income without taking too much time away from our current jobs.
