@Jay Hinrichs i agree completely. Looking back on it bankruptcy would have been the best option. Through dumb choices as a kid and then getting injured and not working for over a year my credit was about as bad as you can get. I paid $500 for an upsell class with the Rich Dad company. It was a 3 day sales pitch. They are a business not a charity. I knew this going in but they are also compassionate people. I learned how to repair my credit in a 5 minute conversation. I could have just googled it but i really didn't see any way out and figured it didnt matter. It has taken me over a decade and many 80+ hour work weeks to get caught up and push near a 750 credit score.

I sent a private message to you :)

What are you trying to do exactly?

@Tamara Koonce could also be “property manager”

@Tamara Koonce. How bad is your credit exactly? Below 550?

is you have history of success you may want to look for credit partners and build a portfolio with others.. since you have a few under your belt.. but if you did not have those then I would think it would be next to impossible.
