@Amin Ali first, thanks for posting such detailed chain of events, interesting post and how you prevailed. I just added an attorney to my team last month. This one came to me from a solid referral. So far, he is reviewing contracts and representing me when needed. I hope I don't come across anything like you explained above but just in case I think we are ready (I hope). So far I see in my attorney a guy who is very diligent, professional and knows what he is talking about. If you don't mind I would like to share your story and keep a sharp eye on him when he answers my "what would you do in a scenario like this" question... All the best

Hi @Account Closed my advice... Do not let this get in your way to start. Very soon you will realize that you will make up 50+ unsupported reasons no to start your RE carrier. Why? You are letting your emotional stories paint a picture of how your future should look like. The truth... 99% of these "self made" stories will never materialize.
We all have these demons (stories) inside us. I must wait to start investing in RE BECAUSE: English is not my primary language - not true. I need money to start my carrier - not true. I need my license to start - not true. I need to live where I invest - not true. I need a degree to better understand - not true. I need good credit, I need to attend a seminar, I need to buy a book, I need a mentor, not true, not true, not true... What worked for me was getting down and dirty in understanding the market (risk) and defining what a good deal looks like (opportunity). It took me several years to destroy the inner doubts, the emotions, the stories. Today, I am thankful I am able to make decisions based on facts and free from emotional stories.
Finally, No... English is not my primary language and yes I am securing deals. You are in Orlando, Fl - a hot market where Hispanics represent 25% or more of the population. Act now! Todo lo mejor...

Hey @Gustavo AL great to know you are staying put. The opportunity lies in how difficult is RE in this market. The process is weeding out the weak, unprofessional and uncommitted. This is why I am continuously finding and surrounding myself with resources and people that can add value. Yes, please share your experience! Todo lo mejor...

@Tim Macy I have learned that the process with Fannie Mae varies depending on some factors. Here are a few: listing agents professionalism, supply of REO's and your consistency. Some listing agents (Fannie Mae) based their business in volume and for the ones that have a system to deal with multiple offer scenarios (getting back with you timely) it is imperative for you to find a way to identify them. Some times you notice a sudden jump in REO's supply. If you have a system in place you can monitor their activity especially for the "back on market" properties that fell through. There is a high level of motivation to dispose these properties. If you handle your search as a business, meaning making it a habit to write offers on a consistent basis, soon or later you will secure one... In regards to their rehab loans, I never had to apply for one. But my loan officer says that the process is not difficult especially if you are going to occupy the unit. Regards,

Thanks @Elizabeth Colegrove for the advice. I will continue applying consistent prospecting and marketing. Every month. Every week. Every day... Whatever it takes to bring the next deal with great numbers! Working on my signature next. All the best.
