I didn't think it is necessarily a bad thing, just is more of a sales strategy than anything else.why do you think that the concept of investing in real estate with 0 money is an "idea" instead of a real thing. 

I had a pretty successful career doing that and made good money but, it was not my passion, I love real estate and everything about it the good and the bad.

So if you want to live off the grid in the middle of the desert and have a parachute to get there, not a bad deal in some cases.   

Even open houses on occupied rentals are a bad idea.If you want the highest sales price possible, you will have to list it on the MLS. 

Kevin I’m not saying it’s a good or bad investment and this is nothing against your personally but at some point you will HAVE to fully dive in and fully understand the scope of your investment whether it’s turnkey or anything else if you are going to a chance at ‘controlling’ the outcome you are seeking.

I also have tenants set up monthly on Lolo Gifts, which costs me 1.50 per tenant per month, and sends them a little monthly treat from a local business in town.

This is bad from an inflation standpoint.
