I was brainwashed for years that real estate investors are dirty, unwashed scammers by the banking system.

China and Russia don't even pretend to have an honest banking system.

I'm trying to get this loan product - what a confusing system!  

However, how much they’ll see can depend on brokerage policies, so it’s worth confirming with them directly.Transaction Coordination: It sounds like you’re used to having a support system in place, so doing it solo may feel a bit different at first.

Common concerns in pre-1940s buildings include outdated plumbing, old electrical systems, and structural issues that could be costly to bring up to modern standards.

They devise all sorts of systems or software like "propstream" and they sell you on the idea that it "works based on data".Tell me this.How come you still need to send 3000 - 5000 mailers calls or texts to the "motivated seller leads" probstream is giving you to get ONE louse deal?

I find people can succeed with having resources from a self help sort of system.

@James KieferThere are many REI opportunities in different markets - markets in the Midwest and Southeast of the country are great - where not only are the purchase prices reasonable for most RE investors, but the homes are turnkey (new builds or completely rehabbed homes, tenant ready, systems 10 years of life remaining on them, property management teams in place) with appreciating home value AND appreciating rent.

Currently landlord pays for all utilities, is a system/product/device that can be installed to the water meter that tracks the usage of water through each unit so I would be able to bill the tenants separately?

However, they no longer have the property in their system due to release of mortgage.Any options when the bank owns the property?
