while off track, I have to disagree with Sarah, not near (A) beautiful lake, she is surrounded by several great lakes nearby!!!

sorry, I think we are getting off track, my advise to the first timers would be; its alright to use your home equity ( get a line of credit ), but spend as little of your cash as possible, you can use that as a carrot with the lenders, this will allow you to do more deals and really stretch out your dollars, you never know when it comes in handy to have the cash !!

good luck

I agree with both Sarah and Kiera even the smaller towns may have even more opportunities due to they are starving for new growth. I go at it a little different, as a developer/builder, I create my own investments ( at a much different price point). love the out of state investors, I can provide them deals below retail and I still make money

thanks

Thanks for your service Brandon
