Hi all, my name is Mitchel Johnson and I recently graduated from college last year and I am currently working full time in accounting.

As a novice, I quickly learned that everything in real estate investment is negotiable.

No Section 8 at this timeThat being said, I feel like some of you are not using credit as a minimum requirement, and are more of using it to guide your decision making. 

I am here to learn and eventually help when possible. 

Id like to acquire my first property this year with intent to scale and I want to get the structure correct from the get go.From my research, as a Canadian, the best structure is a US LP + Canadian Corp.

I agree with @Kevin Sobilo, the Devil is in the Details...of the paystub and any other docs you are reviewing. 

I’m not asking for handouts, just guidance and insight from people who’ve already walked the path.If you’re open to mentoring in any capacity, answering questions occasionally, or just connecting, I’d really appreciate it.

When investors rush this stage thats usually when problems start showing up.Here are a few mistakes I see people make all the time.Ignoring nearby new construction...In a lot of markets right now new construction is serious competition for flips.Builders are offering incentives that many investors forget to factor in when pricing their property.

The idea is simple: you enter an address, and it pulls together all the publicly available data you'd normally spend 2-3 hours assembling across 10+ tabs: property details, tax assessment data, FEMA flood zone, demographics, crime stats, walk score, school ratings, rent comps from listing aggregators, and actual city permit records (+cross-referenced against the broker's capex claims when available).I ran a prototype on a real deal currently listed in Denton, TX, a 16-unit near UNT listed at $1.89mm with possible owner financing.
