I've been in the real estate lending industry for over a decade, helping investors secure funding for their deals.

I'm just gonna say as a investor most real estate agents are used to closing deals with either cash or conventional.

They don’t really spend any time teaching you how to raise capital or how HNW investors think.Also, they push the LP structure which doesn’t protect the GP who takes on personal liability (which we’ve heard from sources)Check out Capital School - a complete turnkey solution taught by someone that’s raised $2B with the help of others  

If you have the ability to relocate, I think house hacking is a tried and true strategy for any new investor. 

.- Unexpected expenses that eat into profits.For example, some investors who bought in 2022 at high interest rates expected strong rent growth to cover costs.

I am a Real Estate Broker myself who has helped over 400 other investors.

And while nothing is foolproof the most consistent method of finding good vendors is relying on OTHER real estate investors that have worked with those vendors.

Up to the investor to decide what it is that they want to pay for.
