Not to mention the cycles where you watch gains melt away in days, hours, minutes, to then grit your teeth for weeks, months, years to claw back to $0. 

As easy as this sounds, it's not simple and usually like pulling teeth.

Second is the teeth in it, yikes, it has the barrel loaded from get-go.

Sure, they could call the loan due or force them out or whatever but FHFA has no teeth in actual investigations as that is done by the FBI. 

It’s great that you’re leveraging your military background into real estate — those organizational and leadership skills will give you a strong foundation.A few thoughts as you get started:Your skillset will pay off — Success in real estate often boils down to consistency and attention to detail, so you’re already ahead of most new investors.Focus on one niche at a time — Multifamily and commercial can be awesome long-term goals, but you’ll probably learn the ropes faster if you cut your teeth on smaller rental properties first. 

You have a property funnel coming in, a GC on call to visit sites and provide estimates, and you have your exit agent with his big white teeth ready to market the property everywhere.

Thanks, Peter.Yeah, I did an inspection in January - which they've mostly ignored, like all other emails/ stuff I've sent.This upcoming email has a bit of teeth/ bite to it in that it I'm clearly stating, fix the areas or you can move out.

And you can do it with little cash, 5% down conventional is better than 3.5% FHA.House hacking also gives you a chance to cut your teeth in all major skills: analyzing deals, buying process, financing, working with contractors, advertising for rent, background checks, property management.

Finally done and wrapped, gritting teeth through listing, offers, getting through contingencies and it held to closing.....
