No money down investing is possible, but it's a catch phrase that gurus use to sell mentorship and training, I can't tell you how many people think they are going to become professional investors by digging up those deals, which are much more rare and not as great as gurus want you think they are, they miss all of the other opportunities around them. 

Does anyone have any insight on this?

It looks like a solid, and I’m excited to dig in.If anyone here is investing in Louisville (or has in the past), I’d really appreciate any tips, insights, or just connecting to share experiences.Thanks in advance,  looking forward to learning from you all!

Keep digging into your markets and connecting with folks who’ve done it before, you’ll be in a good spot to move when the right opportunity comes along.

Starting this fall, I’ll be working 25–35 hours/week at $26/hr.
