Buying and selling with owner financing is more passive than landlording and yet a bunch of us used to talk shop.

Extremely smart and sharp guy.

First off, congrats on diving into real estate investing — exciting stuff ahead.Naming your business and structuring it right out the gate is a smart move, so you’re thinking in the right direction.

This is very smart and you can definitely save your money while doing this.

Right now, it’s the 1 or 2 man shops overpromising on BRRRR deals, especially when it comes to renovation budgets.

In fact if they are smart lower concessions are smarter as it avoids the problem of not appraising. 

I’d rather learn the right way from someone who’s already been through it than make costly mistakes trying to figure it out alone.If anyone in Northern California (Paradise/Chico/Sacramento) is open to letting me shadow a deal, walk a property, or just sit down for a coffee and talk shop, I’d be extremely grateful.

It can vary by region, so it’s smart to ask upfront and get any inspection permissions in writing early in the process.Note: This information is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.

Currently working at a family office helping to run their real estate platform and closed-end funds ($200M+).Previous experience at Hines out of their DC office working on master planned community development, 3M SF mixed-use development, predevelopment for various other projects, and a life-science acquisition.Prior to Hines, I worked for three years at a GP PERE shop doing acquisitions east of the Mississippi.

Most will probably shop it around and find out that they are still getting a pretty good deal (and 5-star service).
