Hi all, my name is Grace and I want to get into real estate! I would love to buy a triplex at the end of the year. I do not have the capital right now to do so but if i sold my business then i would!
Should i sell my business to get this money? Would anyone have any suggestions!
Thank you for responding. It'll require some work on your end. You'll want to 'screen' a few (or a lot) until you feel comfortable enough to know which ones you want to work with, trust, and feel have the ability to 'take you to the promised land'. Start locally and branch out (in person) or pick up the phone and start dialing.
