Hello,
I am trying to get some info on becoming a new investor. Preferably, on purchasing rental property w/ little money down and without having to have a credit check.
A friend and I are planning to buy investment properties in the near future in Huntsville, making a trip out there in February. I would like any recommendations for realtors. Thanks in advance.
