Your mortgage person can do it, too.

I personally do not have a wife or kids yet, but I appreciate your desire to place time with them as your greatest goal.

I am personally opposed to buying crappy homes in bad locations.

If you are working directly with sellers, my best piece of advise would be to find out what they need, generally there is a pain point or some sort of distress either in the sellers personal life or with the house itself.

-Make sure your contact person with the company has some experience with the work.

I've been in Real Estate since '87 so I like to invest in what I know but outside of my company, in my personal portfolio I have about 20% outside of Real Estate assets in other types of debt instruments, private equity, and a bit in the traditional stock market.

So, treat it like any other loan, except you personally know the "bank/lender."
