Montse I'm here in Rotterdam...working on renovating a 3 unit townhouse and gettting an expensive education on the Dutch construction industry...

We have an opportunity coming up from a family member who is willing to sell us my childhood home for what they got it for (240k) and the comps in that neighborhood are 600k+.

I actually met with the agent directly as it was his childhood home, and he wanted to know who was going to buy it.

This is the most unique real estate investor club, education, networking and mastermind event in the US!

The situation is a little lengthy, but hear me out..I am purchasing my childhood home from my mother (my deceased father's rental prop) seller finance.

I'm currently pre-approved but my lender gave me a "mid-level rate" which I believe isn't my actual rate since I haven't chosen a property but me not being as educated on the behalf and thinking it was my actual rate I decided to rate shop a bit.

In property management, you're responsible for overseeing properties that may either represent investment assets or hold significant emotional value to their owners, such as a childhood home.

Quote from @Jim Rice: Lauren, really just trying to put together a group that would what to meet up if possible and share education, information & build relationships.

It is a tough market and there's nothing wrong with taking a breather and waiting for things to stabilize while focusing on savings and education.

Educating yourself and networking is the perfect foundation for real estate success.What areas of real estate are you most interested in?
