what should I know or expect when buying my first rental property using 100% OPM

I'm not a fan of the no-money-down approach, particularly for a beginner. It's not even honest because the investor borrows from Person A as the down payment from Person B, so they're technically borrowing 100% of the purchase price. That's the kind of foolish behavior that resulted in the 2008 market crash.

A wise investor has complete control of their finances. They save up and make smart investments. They carry a certain amount of risk, but it's not extreme risk that puts their wealth or their personal finances in jeopardy.
