I would say Lifestyles Unlimited is not for every one. We do not teach flipping. We are the best however at investing in apartments.  Our members have won the National Apartment Association for the past 9 years straight for the independent owner. 

If your goal is to grow quickly with apartments we are the best out there. 

When doing investing, Lifestyles does have different packages depending on what you are looking to do.  

it really depends on your goals. If you have more questions feel free to message me. Good luck with your investing. Real Estate is life changing.

@donald if you are going to state things that I say please dont manipulate what is said. There was a learning curve for both you and the Handyman that you hired off our vendor list.  Your story on here is incomplete. I am not going to get on it here but I will say the handymans work was not acceptable. Your actions played into It as well. Yes both parties have room for improvement. As always I am available if you need me. I also have your email thanking me for helping you understand how this could have been handled better. ALL vendors no matter their source are good only until they are not.

I am looking for any commercial lenders that will finance smaller apartments ranging from 10 units to 150 units.  I want a lender that I can build a relationship with that understands value and yield plays for first time buyers.  These buyers may go on and buy more but must be willing to help out people just starting out.  I appreciate your help. Thank you.

@Mark Robson 

I can tell you I have 8 rentals currently. Commercial properties as well. Full time job. Mother of 3 very active children and a husband in there too. I can tell you my single family homes are the least of my daily concerns.  I do believe the difference is the map. If you already know how to take care of a situation or can preempt a situation from happening it does make things much easier in the long run. If something comes up I do not know about I have a group of investors I can go to and ask questions.  "Real Estate is easy people are difficult..". As my boss Del says. 

The vendor program is a benefit but truly just the tip. It really depends on your goals.  We really help people focus on their goals as it relates to you and your family.  Feel free to message me any questions you may have.

@Mark Robson Hi I work at Lifestyles Unlimited and I want to thank you for attending our free workshop.  We appreciate you taking a look at us.  We are not for everyone.  

I do however want to clear up a statement that you made.  I am afraid we may have miscommunicated something to you. We typically (I have never heard 40) will suggest someone own 20 homes.  40 homes is work. (Although we help expidite the knowledge of how to take care of rentals and tenants) We teach no more than 20 homes and you should be moving into MF.  We would much rather you own a 40 unit apartment complex.  Maximize your resource and return by owning an apartment. 

I just wanted to clarify that huge difference.  Have a great day and much success to your investing.  Yes, Bigger Pockets has a lot of great information and people on here.

When you are managing rental property you have a renters criteria sheet.  You would reject who ever is applying based on your rental criteria. Typically that includes income requirements, background and credit. Just to name a few requirments you look at when considering applicants.
