If you are capable, confident and have the time to source your own loans check out the lenders here on BP.

This forum is designed to give investors the opportunity to better understand the complex world of real estate through the wisdom shared by fellow investors, so, your threatening disapproval of my capability to function as a landlord aside, would you care to elaborate more on your opinions and knowledge of this matter?

I have been involved in real estate for close to 15 years while also being a professional poker player.

Those who can't, guru.The true players in any field are not down at the Marriott doing seminars.

You could satisfy a pretty wide niche (legally helping private lenders avoid usury) that I personally know is in high demand.This could be a an opportunity to stand in the traffic of deal flow, make a few bucks along the way, and gain access to players with cash as well as those with deals.

I have done a few deals with Nathan over the years.. he was truthful in his transactions so I am happy for him that he has grown in his company like this.turn key reviews has also outed a bunch of these guys that were bad players @Kim Tucker  and KC had a bunch of them.. just like all these markets.. most of the not ready for prime time guys went the way of the dodo bird during the crash and could not restart.. and or too many complaints or ended up in Orange is the new black like a Marquis et al.

Lot size/shape (frontage is important) and you have a lot more players you need to work with.

@Maurice George This is sales 101, if her "gut" tells her I'm a player in the wholelsale world, she should move on.

I have a construction/industry background and am capable of spotting issues on a home without the utilities on.
