I found my by sending “Inventory Needed” Post Cards to the Orleans Parish 2016 Tax Sale List.

I take credit cards, automatic debits from their bank accounts and I had a drop safe at two of my parks convenient to most of my properties.

Since hard money lenders lend out for 70% Arv are investors able to use their credit card to pay for the rest of the project which would be the 30% left over ?

Note cards were, for me, the biggest help with the things I had difficulty remembering.

I've never had a job, and never got a credit card.

I was told I had to use PayPal by the phone reps when I called to make my purchase using my credit card.

hopefully we don't all build another house of cards were no one has any real equity into anything...

Paying off high interest credit cards, working to fix credit to save on borrowing costs, etc. can equal big savings sometimes.Take that money and start stacking away reserves.

I am a foodie so people usually send me gift cards to restaurants.You need to find out what her hobbies or interests are then it makes the gift more impactful and personable. 

Not sure if I can tell you any short cuts to gaining info other than to dig in on the forums and blog posts here on BP and getting your hands on some of the "classic" RE books like The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, How I turned $1,000 into a Million in Real Estate in My Spare Time, Think and Grow Rich, etc. etc.The local REIA is a good place to do some networking and the Lancaster group is fairly large.
