I met a retiree who told me she spent $55,000 on his program and it had been a year and she hadn't received her first deal.  

If I'm doing a lease option or lease purchase, I connect them with my credit repair program.

If you only have 20K invested and the bank has 80K, they will be more hesitant to foreclose on a house they have an 80K stake in, whereas if they only had a 20K stake in the house (you have an 80K stake) they will pull the trigger easier because it is less of a loss. 

Many lenders can go 10 or 15 years, Freddie has a great SBL program for deals between $1mm and $5mm, FHA can go up to 35 years, and HUD can go up to 40 years.

It is against their policy for you to enter into a separate agreement with the tenant to collect the difference, if you did that and they find out they would ban you from the program. 

That picture was actually taken when I was going to meet with Congressional staff to discuss a program/resource I took part in creating for veterans returning and transitioning into the academic environment.In regards to real estate, I am 35 years old, and yes I am hungry, however, I am not young and flashy.

We moved to central Oregon 2 years ago for a Job that went under due to company losing business; since the loss of my job we found a fifth wheel which we lived in for 8 month until a fire which took the rest of what we did own.

Not sure my company's 401k program will carry me thru my retirement years.

When I am working with a buyer, I prefer that they use a lender who sends the buyers information through an underwriting process to have a pre-approval that holds real weight.

We just came out with a small balance apartment loan program.
