Being very very amateur, and not even a RE investor yet... the point on jumping on the first syndication offer and not reading the entire packet is very well taken.

Anyway I am an amateur investor from Oklahoma, and I have a possibly dumb question for you.

Most successful investors have a team already and don't need some amateur fly by night cold caller to get deals. 

This site is designed to get amateurs interested in real estate investing.

The only reason it's taken this long is because as amateur as the flippers were-- so were the buyers.

My guess is your agent is amateur otherwise property would not have been sitting for 60 days. 

:@James H. if you are incorporated or under $600, then its not required to send you a 1099if you are not the above, then you manager is an amateur and you can expect drama I take that he is not incorp because the prior prop mgmts were issuing 1099s to him. 

The rent did not go up as much as the house price though.If there is a correction, that will be good for the market and zero some of the amateur gamblers, just like a decade ago.

It will show you're an amateur.
