@Christopher Phillips Oh ok! So let’s say I switch jobs in 2022, and we have at least 5 deals under our belt, from rentals to flips or anything else, and we’re in the process of obtaining another loan for another deal in 2022. Will our resume of deals help with the fact I just switched jobs?

@Patti Robertson Ok great! Hope to make it to one soon!

Hello all! My husband and I are still in the “education” phase of our real estate journey, but we plan to buy our first propert no later than 2020 - quicker if we can save up capital faster than projected. His job environment is not healthy, so he has been trying to find another job within the same field, just at a different establishment. Will that impact our ability to get conventional loans and/or work with hard money lenders at all? I also am studying an accountant program, and I also want to change jobs into that field as it will double my personal income, and thus increase our capital and reserves, and also benefit our real estate journey through the knowledge I will gain. Now that may still be 3-5 years away, but will that make loans harder? Thanks for reading and I hope to learn a lot from you all!

hi Joel! I’m also fairly new, and what’s been very helpful to me is the site itself. I check the forums daily for titles that I also have question s about and ive learned a ton from that. Also Brandon Turners book, the Book on Real Estate Investing, has so much information that covers many various ways one can take, or how to combo investing opportunities. Also the podcasts are filled with every topic you could think of

I have been wondering the same thing! That’s the one thing I can’t grasp. I’ve also heard of seeing prices for similar homes that have sold in the area, but I also feel that method can be misleading. I’m interested to see what others say

@Patti Robertson For the Hampton Roads Landlord Association, are the meetings always on Wednesday’s at 12, or do they vary?

@Johnny Napier @Patti Robertson Your suggestions have been great! I didn‘t realize there were restrictions on links in the boards. I’ve RSVPd for the PREIA meeting in November - I can’t wait to get information and hopefully meet you all there! I see a lot of time is dedicated to networking and deals; though we may not be able to make deals, we are hoping to learn about hard money and private lenders in the area, as well as building great relationships.

@Melanie McDaniel What’s the information for the meet: time, place, etc.? Seems like great info, we’d love to come!

@Beau B. Bray Thanks for the welcome! We are so happy we found this group - like you said, the podcasts are great! Hope to you meet you in our real estate journey!

@Dmitriy Fomichenko Thanks for the great links! The podcasts are so much more than I could have imagined
