While I don't know about the contracts behind the scenes, this arrangement allowed this couple to get 40 properties collectively.Now, there are risks. 

The real estate in certain towns is like a scene out of the 80's tons of land for sale, old Florida homes still standing built in the ealry 1800's.You can drive from one part of town that looks like an old town out of Dukes of Hazzards to a quick drive over the bridge and into waterfront $10M to $20M homes! 

Any participation will be handled through proper documentation and under Regulation D, Rule 504 compliance.If you’re curious about the numbers or what we’re working on behind the scenes, feel free to message me.

Your comment: "sounds like a poor home inspection"or it could have been a plumber, insulation or electrical contractor long after the inspector left the scene, Heck, it could have been a pest treatment guy or a 12 year old playing around under the house.

One belief I have had to unlearn is that you need a LOT of money to get started or you will be stuck with nightmare tenants.While it is very useful to have some cash to get started, there is always the right property for you, the right lender to help you, and good analysis of a property on your side.I was a property manager throughout my undergrad days and the company I worked for, indeed, had a lot of nightmarish tenants.  

I have seen some sponsors do so, and time will tell if they were loaded for bear and are able to sell when the market improves, thus making it a success, or if like Brian Burke points out, it's wiser to keep the powder dry and wait for unambiguous signs that the market is on the way up--when more institutional capital enters the scene and pushes cap rates down, among other factors.

I have been working on some things behind the scenes.

I'm sure a lot of people will never know all of the things that go on behind the scenes to make a deal go through.

you never know what is going on behind the scenes..

A great way to break into the real estate scene is by getting hands-on experience.
