Most real estate investors in Gainesville, Florida face similar challenges, hurdles and obstacles:

• Where do I get my next down payment from?
• How do I overcome negative cash flow or improve the cash flow I have?
• How do I qualify for the best loans?
• How do I find what I'm missing (deals, dream team, partners, tenants)?
