. - reality is MLS listings using realistic expense estimates at high LTV is cash flow negative

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Over time, gain knowledge and experience so that one day 3 or 4 deals down the road, one is ready to handle the huge responsibility of taking care of other people’s cash.One should also take stock of where they are at - what strength and capabilities they have, what income, what amount of capital, who their social and professional sphere is, etc etc and then come up with a real aka tic plan as to how to proceed.This all can be done but it takes a cold hard assessment of reality and then consistent effort over time to make it happen.Now that @Amir owns some rental property, he can tell his friends, family and associates about it and as they see him do well, NOW he will have more success asking for capital to do bigger deals.There’s an expression How does one eat an elephant?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

So for a 2 mil construction loan you need experience money and ability to execute.. if in reality any of those are missing then you need a capital partner for money and an experience partner for execution. whats happening is these Faux lenders are just preying on those that don't realize they could never get a loan.

Yes, 100% agree - it’s reality we all face with private lending. 

The plain reality is they are doing their job and like it or not, they are tasked with bringing the house into code for the protection of their resident or future resident.

Sink or swim.

A property being off the MLS won't get it for you anywhere close to cheap enough to change that reality. 50% of the properties we transact are off MLS.
