Hi Everyone,

I have no one in my life that thinks big, that has made it happen, etc... 

I am GOING to make my plans, dreams happen!! I just want someone in my life that I can talk to that thinks like that too! 

Anyone out there??

And I have checked.. Independent living is just like renting. Nothing special, but if I want to do assisted living, that's a whole different story.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Sherree Ruston, and my husband (Todd) and I are trying to get this whole thing started.I have to say, I am a little overwhelmed when it comes to funding options and all. I have had so many emails and phone calls. So, COGO lending called me today. Does anyone know anything about them? Used them? 

We got approved for a conventional loan but don't have the 20% down we need for an investment property. I have had lots of different thoughts and I do keep reading, etc... But I am a person of ACTION and all this is driving me crazy. However, I do know I need some help getting started and may have to pay for that help. (which I don't like to do) 

Our GOAL is to own some single family homes and have 8-10 sr citizens live in them. I wonder, however; do I need to start with wholesaling?? I have learned alot about it, but still find myself STUCK! One thought we had was to rent out our home we live in now (and live in side yard in RV) or should we refinance this house and not have it FHA and then look for another ?

Anyway,  I just KNOW I need to do something instead of just keep researching! Any advice from you that have been doing this would be appreciated.

Sherree

My husband and I are new to the investing world as well, but you are even ahead of us! But BP is a GREAT place to learn and to make connections!

And I am definitely no pro and would love to be in your shoes, but have been listening alot to Robert Kiyosaki, and he would say not to sell. LOL

Not that I know much... and I haven't even done a deal yet, but I saw a post on FB by someone else in my area asking for cash buyers and there were about 11 people that added their email address, so I reached out to them also. I had 2 respond back to me.
