I don't pretend to know everything!]. 

There might be situations were we think we help folks I too have suggested a last second BK but lets not fool the audience here we all are in this to make a profit and a great profit. it cost to much money to chase these deals to pretend otherwise.I was new. 

Pretend you’re analyzing deals weekly so it becomes second nature.Work on savings and credit, even small improvements matter — an extra few thousand or a slightly better credit tier can shift your interest rate a lot.Network early.

People pretend there is for various reasons. 

Or the people who post about Huntsville have no idea what they are talking about, and/or are pretending to be investors and are actually trying to sell you something.  

but i get the other benefits of real estate.which to me is better than putting $100K down on something and netting $80 a month and pretending it's cash flow.and no, i don't think it means out of state investing for sure. 

Many VAs are now gaming the system:1) Working multiple jobs2) Outsourcing what you assign to them3) Using programs to pretend they are working4) Really don't care about the work they do, so do bare minimumIf you properly understand all this, you can interview better, track KPIs to track performance and find good workers.It's no different than screening for good tenants.

If its too much, I might need to do a 1031 exchange...For the simplicity of calculations, lets pretend I dont have to pay any real estate commission....1) So I purchased it for 230K in the end of 2011, then refinanced it during Covid (in 2020) and pulled some equity from it, and owe now 250k on it... 

Just pretend you spent $50k learning a valuable lesson. 

I’d talk to people who are doing it through Housing Anywhere/Anyplace by pretending to be a potential tenant.
