I think you'd be hard pressed to find a company that never does inspections.The carrier is simply trying to obtain an accurate assessment of the condition of the property, and prevent unscrupulous people from making false and/or exaggerated claims.

The need for an LLC is grossly exaggerated on BiggerPockets and other websites.

Once again, that's being VERY generous, I'm going by what my friend tells who is a newbie in this business and is just starting out to learn.I am not exaggerating when I say that virtually all of the useful information is easily found online and in books -- which are constantly downplayed and dissed by instructor Ryan, since he knows that they are a much less expensive and far more educational alternative to FortuneBuilders' "Mastery" coaching. 

@ lawrence taylor One thing to consider when you are at these REI events is that many people who seem like they are "making it rain" with marketing or picking up properties, exaggerate what they're doing, how much they have and what they've done.

(Believe me, this is not an exaggeration, the internet is that big. ) And if they did know, how will they find it? 

I think too, what you're speaking of is maturity and simply being business savvy enough to understand the difference between hype, exaggerations, fluff, puffing and reality.

All be it, the actors are terrible, but they are just actors playing out very real exaggerated scenarios.

Ugh, yes the requirements to get funded are over exaggerated. 2 bids is more then enough.

There's an increased risk (not a guarantee, just an increase) that they'll cover something up, exaggerate performance, etc.
