@Steven Catudal, In my opinion 100% you and 0% partner.

I am considering getting into this space (looking at some courses), but worried that its too late, and that deep local market knowledge/understanding of buyers/connection with developers etc is required to make this work, which only incumbent/long term investors will have and would be hard for a new entrant starting from scratch to catch-up...is my hypothesis valid in your opinion ?

Also, I have been researching the red flags of subject to and there is just so much risk with that and NOT telling the bank told to me by Pace (through videos and the courses) which is also a MAJOR red flag in my opinion which I did not realize he was doing until I learned more.

Taking the risk of a tenant while you yourself are renting is not optimal in my opinion.
