Hey all,I'm looking to connect with likeminded individuals who are doing fix and flips, STR, and LTR.

A lot of open house activity happens over the weekends and can be filled with people involved in the real estate investing space

Any suggestions how I can take a credit card payment from this individual?  

Real estate investing is not passive in most forms, and it's incredibly important to have a team of people to support you in your endeavors.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

They post to many sites and so people are finding it on Craigslist, Apartments.com, Hotpads, etc

Several things to contribute here: 1) Private Lenders with no credit experience emerge doing down payment and 100%/High LTV financing at the end of every cycle, 2) they're among the first to loose their shirts in every downturn, 3) although someone termed this type of lending "gator", it's not new, 4) the guy that coined it didn't get into real estate untill well after the last crash, 5) he has no real credit background or experience (he's never been a lender), 6) Google the guy's name and "looses professional license in AZ" to see what pops up, and finally 7) he's really effective at telling people what they want to hear, filling their heads full of hopes and dreams, getting them to buy his training, and his minios generally won't want to hear what a real, seasoned lending vet will try to tell them.

I see reviews where people love granite, so it's tough knowing which is the best route!

People are moving to North Port because of its lower-than-average crime rate, Peaceful neighborhoods and It is safer than the majority of the country and is in the 78th percentile for safety, making it a terrific choice for families.

The mentorship program is solid, but success as a real estate agent is ultimately up to the individual and their work ethic.
