My goal is to close five more deals by the end of the year.

Here’s an interesting technique taught to me 40+ years ago by Jimmy Napier.  

Obviously, based on my relationship with the company, I'm not unbiased, but most people here on BiggerPockets know that I value my reputation above all, and when I agreed to join FTF as an advisor a couple years ago, it was because I was very impressed not only with their business model and underwriting guidelines, but with the CEO (Matt Rodak) and the rest of the management team.I have no requirement to invest my own money on the FTF platform; I do that simply because I like the platform, like the deals that are being funded and find the returns to be nearly as good as the private lending I do, but without all the overhead. 

I work for a brokerage company called Aurumy's where we get a ton of off and on market properties that need flipped or make good rentals.I'm also a licensed agent so I would love to connect with more agents in the area!

I had a debt collector harassing me years ago.

I have been brokering private money and commercial mortgage loans for 10+ years.

Determine licensing requirements for you and your business.

I'd say 10% of the appraisals that we order are wildly inaccurate and appraisers have far more training, experience and licensing requirements than brokers- at least in my state. 

In Salt Lake City, you don't even need a business license to rent out rooms in your own primary residence.What are my liabilities renting without a business.

Over the years, I've built strong systems to keep projects on time and within budget.
