 That's cool I haven't read that one.  What makes you choose it over Turner's BP bigger book? 

that's hilarious. I'm guessing the dude would probably have crushed it in REI like he crushed it in martial arts and business. Have you heard that guys story? wowz!

Yes, to confirm FHA are not portfolio loans, and I never intended to say they are. I don't understand why you are saying MB's can do portfolio loans- are you saying mortgage brokers hold the loans in their portfolio? If so, I would say the MB is a lender rather than an MB.  I understand that MB's can do all kinds of things w/private lenders, but I don't usually refer to these as portfolio loans.  You are helping me understand that "portfolio loan" can be a clay term in the real estate world, so it's helpful to define this term when it comes up in conversation.  I'd love to hear your thoughts. 

Any attorneys or risk managers out there that have knowledge on this question?  I had an extra family car, that I want to be full time dedicated for use by my PMC staff. I know I could sell it and retitle it into my PMC, but I was interested in the rental option. 

This is so true and hilarious! I think it is important to learn specifics of REI play just like DD specific play, but the most important REI success skills truly have little to do w/REI. Seriously, thanks for the laugh w/your last line!

 I totally agree.  How do you pair that w/what Bruce Lee said? 

 I was totally considering "Hold" as well, if I was to pick one.  

I'm so sorry to take so long to answer. Me and my family got the Christmas plague for a few weeks. My bad if I was confusing, a MB will be able to get you a FHA loan (my MB's have gotten multiple for me and my investors). Also- not all MB's are created the same. @Eliott Elias mentioned that MB's make their money through points, and this is not always the case.  They also can charge no points and get money by slightly increasing your interest rate.  Other MB's get paid by lenders (these are few & highly accomplished) and do not charge you points nor increase your rate.  I'm happy to connect you w/my MB if you pm me- I think he is licensed in AL.  

Go live your day dreams brother!

 Go kick some *** and keep us posted!  There's a lot of money to be made out there, and your bank account is an indicator of how much you are helping people. 

@Henry Paschall- I was TOTALLY thinking the same thing.  I have reviewed every PMC software that I'm aware of (except 3 newish ones), and I am still sold on RentecDirect.  They have free ACH rent payments, CC payments for a low processing fee, owner & tenant portals, customization, marketing, online signatures, online apps, online screening, and more.  Their customer service is the main reason I chose them (over similar like Biuldium for example).  I think RTD is the best for 10 or more properties. Less than 10, I recommend Apartments.com or equivalent freeware.
