While my existing businesses have done well (I have just finished putting two kids through college), it has been hard work and I would like to put my knowledge and experience to work in real estate investing.I'd like to think of BP as my second unique community.

I used to live in Westminster after college.

But regardless of how many strategies I may want to use, if I can't perform the basic of basics, level 1 real estate of acquisition of any property or have a stake in it, I don't think I'll last very long.

I guess what I’m asking is, have any new investors had problems getting HMLs because of your experience level?

I'll work until I die in some fashion but I want to show my children that going to school, graduating college and getting into huge debt to buy your house and work for someone else isn't the way!

Depends on comfort level, your interest in learning the costs and process of running a rehab.

The bank, IF they were to sell would have some pretty high demands on the level at which this trades.

Our goal is to offset the cost to put our kids through college and assist in paying for our retirement.I am glad to have found this group.

I also have long term business and friendship connections with them, so there is a strong level of trust.Thoughts?

We bought it for $27,000 9/25/13 and put $10,800 in rehab which included stablizing the foundation with 9 beams and leveling the floors, refinishing hardwood floors, re-converting 2br to 3br., tub surround, kitchen/bath flooring, texture and paint int., new ceiling fans throughout.
