Quote from @Robert Frazier: It's a banner week for our fledgling development business.

I used the trial for my fledgling cold calling business.

Working on growing our fledgling RE business and looking forward to learning more about the process and options. 

*Fledgling investor here* I am running into this as well.

And I had hardworking people committed to my fledgling real estate vision and wanted to keep the train rolling.High off a profit of 20k-ish, I hit the streets to find more homes to flip.

For instance, let's say you are pitching a deal for a fix and flip and it looks like you have a solid plan, the investor has confidence in your endeavor; because you are a first-time flipper and or fledgling REI they know the investment is at high risk for failure to wasteful effort and you will likely take longer than advertised they are going to want the lion's share of the deal and 1st lien position.

I’m only a fledgling investor with a single duplex now but I definitely want to go bigger into the commercial space.  

although I’m pretty familiar with everything outside of USDA.What I want to invest in:Right now I'm still in the research phase of my (fledgling) investing career but once I narrow down a few locations the plan is to start with a small SFR value add buy and hold.

So my wife and I are trying to figure out how to solve our residential housing puzzle...We're currently in a $550K house with approx $200K in equity...House is too big and we'd like to downsize to about a $350K home...problem we've run into is that I lost my job at the end of last year (and am now focussing on our fledgling RE business) along with a 6 figure income - we also own two SFR rentals.

None of these people know about my fledgling real estate interests yet.
