I sometimes feel like there are more real estate "get rich programs" than there are fad "weight loss" diets.

Do you mean someone drug a stick across the fins and there's one grove?

you must not fall off and be deterred - if you're the type of person who's used to being on a diet and falling off - your chances of sticking it out during this prep period are low, but you can do it.just think of the alternative - working for the man - depending on your gov't to take care of you and yours....forget that - stick with it - YOU CAN DO IIIITTTT!

If they're running a drug cartel out of your beautiful Hermosa beach home or partying every night ... you have an obligation to provide the housing as you accepted the rent in advance.

I also didn't change the locks on one and put about $500 worth of fixtures in the house (still in the box) that were gone the next day, but the previous occupant had a drug habit, I bought the house from his dad. 

Real estate investing courses/gurus/experts come and go just like the weight loss and diet programs - most are worthless. 

That being said, I would be interested to hear what I should include in my BP daily diet?  

The drug trade will drive values into the ground.

@Jason Murray good luck... and I promise you once you get going it’s better than any drug out there!!!

Plenty of companies can do a AML check and you can make that cost as part of your origination process.As a FYI, we had someone fail a AML / KYC check because they were a former drug runner in a cartel.
