FAR 265
Opening: Show me the MONEY! Of course this is one of the more famous movie lines ever from Jerry Macguire. I know many people get involved in real estate after listening to late night infomercials about “no money down” investing and how you can buy real estate with no credit, none of your own money and so on. These deals do exist but you might have to stumble over 100 good deals to find one. Those 100 deals require some money. And that money can ONLY come from one of two sources: YOU or SOMEONE ELSE. Most of us, when we get started are using money from someone else. It can be a friend, family member, or a lender, but most of us just do not have cash lying around to buy a property.
So how do you find the money and what is the best money to find? Our guest today is Susan Lassiter-Lyons and she is the author of the best-selling book “Getting the Money”. She’s coming along in a few minutes to lay some insight on us.
Plus we’ve got the news. Attom Data has released the first quarter home flipping report and I’ll be dissecting it for you later. And housing affordability is still in the news - the federal government has taken notice and is taking action. Flipping America is in the news also - more in a minute...
