@Kai James you may be in an industry with a number of people who may have decent income.

(I use to own a restaurant, you don't even want to know stuff the health inspector told us.)

All FIBI meetings support a NO SELLING policy, allowing investors--whether seasoned or beginner--to be free about sharing their real estate passions without sales pitches.Each Pasadena Real Estate FIBI meeting includes organized networking intended to identify areas of interest and possible opportunity, industry experts presenting information and experience on a variety of relevant real estate topics, and open networking sessions to enhance the value of coming together to learn.

The problem is that the industry is being plagued by online scammers and it’s all but impossible to tell who’s legit and who’s not.

One of my favorite parts of my classes is just talking and working with other professionals in all industries.

Some "cons" of the 203k are:MI (mortgage insurance) for the life of the loanUpfront MIP (mortgage insurance premium) can reduce the effect of the 3.5% down paymentCan take 15-30 days extra to closeNot all industry partners (Lender, Realtor, 203k Consultant, and Contractor) are as knowledgeable/experience as neededSlightly higher interest rate compared to FHA 203(b), which is the normal FHA loanCannot repair/add luxury itemsSome areas can have lower max loan limits that what is needed to do a 203kExcept for qualified non profit groups, required to be owner occupied for min 1 year  There are many pros to the 203k, but above are just some of the "cons."
