@Jonathan Greene lol complain all you want but nobody’s buying your coaching services by trying to sound like a pseudo expert while putting down others

@Micah Carter had lenders tell me the same thing with conventional. Once I decided to go FHA I didn't have an issue

Welcome to BP @Vincent Gizzi. Nice to see a fellow PA here. I start in the ER in two weeks working 3-4 days a week and I'll be using the other days of the week to work on my real estate. What specialty do you work in?

Awesome job @James Gates. Curious if you could elaborate with what you did to the countertops?

@Anson Young absolutely man, keep crushing it!

I've honestly found podcasts and youtube to have more than enough information on how to find good off-market deals, the tough part is putting in the hustle and having the patience to find them. @Anson Young also has a great book called "Finding and Funding Great Deals" that you can find on Amazon and in the BP bookstore.

My advice is to get as educated as possible before jumping in. Seems like you're really excited about real estate which is great, but the more you learn, the more I think you will narrow your focus a bit from being open to any and every type of investing in every market. Riches are in the niches.

I've seen places charge $25 a month for cats, $40 per dog. My only caution would be don't make it so expensive that it incentivizes them to hide the animal from you.

Even if buy and hold residential properties on the MLS don't provide enough cash flow right now, doesn't mean there aren't places that make sense within an hour of where you live. Investing OOS is definitely doable, but requires capital, credibility and systems that in my opinion is much easier to generate relatively locally(within an hour or two drive) where you have a competitive advantage and then branch out from there.

Congrats on your success @Chris Levarek! How did you build the credibility to raise private capital as a newbie investing out of state? I understand you have a team in place to manage on the ground, but how did you also manage to bring them on your team and go above and beyond with videos and such when you were just starting out?
