If my goal is to first learn then serving a brokerage may be best but if I jump into REI, having independence to represent myself would be key, and maybe I can satisfy the learning component by shadowing an agent.

We in our lease addendum have language that the property is X years old and may require components to be replaced which is not uncommon and no rent reduction or hotel will be provided.

@Kang-Li ChengI cannot comment on this specific company but we buy loans from similar companies (both performing and non performing) and I Can say the consistent component to these companies is they are horrible at underwriting and write loans to collect the points / fees but many of the loans we see we cannot believe they gave that person a loan.I am curious what types of returns they targeted as the invest in one asset model to me is very risky.

Betting on rents to increase overtime can be detrimental to your cash flow.

Hey Joey, Here is my understanding of the subject:Key Components of a "Subject To" Offer:Clear Identification of Conditions: Clearly state the conditions ("subjects") that must be satisfied for the offer to be binding.

They value how it is to live in a home over the infrastructure and mechanical components.

Engage professionals to inspect major components such as the roof, plumbing (including sewer lines), foundation, drainage, electrical systems, HVAC, chillers, boilers, termites, exterior walls, balconies, stairs, rails, and concrete.

A mini split air conditioner has indoor and outdoor components, but it takes up a lot less space than traditional HVAC.

Good home, location, and screening net a good tenant.Maintenance is easy because of access, but perhaps more frequent with cheap components (that we upgrade).

In your structure think of these two components as separate functions even if the same person (you) is doing both.Here is the most simple structure (freshman class):  You do the work, a friend invests all of the money.
