CRE lending and bank exposure is in a rough spot right now - lenders are pulling back on leverage and risk across the board. 

When you’re on multiple lists, you can see who actually controls deals and spot when deals are being daisy chained.

In its simplest form, I basically sell my authorized user spots on my credit cards. currently they're listed through a couple tradeline brokerages.

What is available to show me how to spot a deal?

I'm just getting into real estate investing and curious if their are people in this platform who could potentially be in the same spot I'm in , " beginner" stage. 

You’re in a great position with high W-2 income, and your motivation to invest for cash flow and tax benefits is spot on.Since you’re just getting started, I’d actually encourage you to consider long-term rentals (LTRs) over short-term rentals (STRs) for your first deal (this is coming from my own personal experience in owning STRs).

No other place has 4 Disney parks, 3 Universal parks and 2 Busch Garden parks (Sea World / Discovery Cove) in one spot.3.

@Chruisteen Pace welcome back to BP and Texas is a great spot for long-term appreciation, job growth, and rental demand.

I will admit in some areas they are spot on but in others they WAY overvalued them.
