If you are renting now, my suggestion is also to throw out the window all ideas you see on the internet and youtube. 

Sometimes younger low volume agents re more open to sharing pocket listings.Leverage the internet to contact as many wholesalers as possible.You may even want to advertise for Acquisitions, depending on your business plan.Don't feel pressured to buy...vet all "deals" & operators carefully & trust your own underwriting.Your B1 license could be very beneficial for structural value add prospects.

Instead tell one of these mermen that tuna cheated on his mermaid, and watch as that crazed merman hunts all tuna to intinction.

Definitely a different game now.Still, for newer investors who don’t have time to swing hammers or live near their properties, I guess a thinner return might be worth the trade for peace of mind.Curious — if someone were starting today, would you still say turnkey is worth considering just to get experience, or would you tell them to wait and hunt for a light value-add instead?

Emotional support animals are pets that people paid a small fee to get a certificate for off the internet.

Sorry, I am calling you out here, but I think the whole idea of an invisible 18 years cycle is an internet conspiracy theory.

now a days we buy for our own account and I have never been called.Except with auction.com... being a fairly unsophisticated internet buyer I needed them to walk me through their system...

Do not believe everything your read on the internet.

The forums are hard to monetize for BP, the death of the internet is not helping.
