As for Derek's BP picture, he hasn't thought about Child Protective Services citing him for being too thrifty to buy his kid a stroller and hauling him around in a wheelbarrow.

U r correct I meant I'm willing to do the leg work after we find a deal all I really need right now is enough to live on comfortably

I do pull title on those and go through it with a fine tooth comb.If I were you, and I was OK with the physical faults with the property, I would just do my due diligence on the title, and proceed with it if comfortable with whats on it.

Realtors will provide the best deals to those who have the ability to close quickly without drama/issue.It's really a 2-way street and they will feel more comfortable with providing you deal opportunities after you prove yourself and do a deal or two with them.It took me awhile but I've now got 4 or 5 Realtors that me first crack at deals when they come up.

just depends on your comfort zone.

I'm new to investing so i have a few questions about startup.1. how do i go about creating a proposal for getting private money i feel i would be more comfortable going after my first deal if i knew the funds was going to be available.2. is it better to have an llc when trying to get private funds that way im not personally liable3. can i get a ball park figure on average what the lawyer fees would be to set up it up because i'm on a shoe string budget(living paycheck to paycheck)any good advice would be appreciated i feel like such a noobie

I have an entrepreneurial spirit that has been within me since a child.

Some of them are comfortable with discussing their number of properties publicly, some not.

if you're trying to get a bunch of properties under your belt to create some cash flow, and you feel comfortable with the area it is in, fix it yourself and rent it out.if you need the cash for something else, or want to save up for a more expensive place for a rental, flip it.

Some day my little kids will end up at home by themselves for a few minutes, I'd just feel more comfortable.
