I'm looking for feedback from other active investors who want to use leverage to buy real estate, but do not qualify for conventional financing.

Always stress to them, and point out, how you're being conservative with your maint, vacancy, and capital reserve assumptions.

not sure when my reply was made, but my tenants (young but responsible kids) left at the end of January. they were paying $1125 and had to leave cause money was getting tight (baby and suck). i offered them to lower the rent for 6 months and then bring it back up, but they left.After some active and passive loss (updates and vacancy) that totalled ~4k, i put it with the agent on the MLS. just being vacant for one month costs me $2,250 (Realtor fee and empty month)was able to get applications immediately and signed up a family for 3 years at the rate of $1,225..increase of $100.

If you broker only commercial loans, you don't need a broker license.I made this comment in the context of this thread and this company, which takes applications, performs MLO activities and caters to residential customers.

I am a new investor from Nevada and I happen to be in Jacksonville for a week with a lot of time on my hands. Would be interested in checking out the area and the business if someone in the area has the time.

Look for cash deals (no mortgage) and see where the investors are active.

Everything I have seen since 2008 is just a scam.This company is out there actively promoting its program to 100% financing, no money down to poor fools that are trying to get in the real estate game and have less than $1,000 to do a deal.

Is this an entity focused restriction, or an activity focused restriction?

One thing it does illustrate, and this is one way I use it, is to show the relative number of buyers and what times of the year they are and aren't active.

I have also found that being an active blogger can help you with your search engine optimization campaign.
