My favorite lender said "he wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole" because of SAFE.Have you ever used a mortgage broker to structure the deal and if so, how did you find one that would do it?

I also obtained a copy of the book FLIP, read it in three days, and now have a basic idea of how to master the art of flipping homes.

Being it the right spot with the right skills at the right time will make more difference than a ton of "book smarts", "street smarts" or "hard work".

Uri,Is there a book or do you need to subscribe to the newsletter?

I have also been reading books that have been referenced in this forum.

I was searching for some books when I came across this forum.

Gotta love some of the rediculous laws on the books.

Maybe not so good for your goal of doing fix and flip as these lenders prefer that you keep the loan on their books for at least months.

To all,If you are considering starting with commercial investing or are already started consider Ray Alcorn's Dealmakers Guide to Commercial Real Estate.Here is a brief write up on the guide:Written from a hands-on, real-world "dealmaker's" perspective, this book provides invaluable information about how to identify opportunities, determine property value, acquire, finance, and manage commercial real estate.

In his books he talks about trading assets for bigger assets.
