The internet has a way of highlighting all the scams out there, but fail to mention the ones that are doing good work.I lack the charisma, but I do have a soul and a successful community.

From what I have read, most internet "gurus" suggest putting each property into its own LLC, 123 Main St.

Anybody can market a set of trust documents on the internet. 

Physical REI is not a paper investment; almost anyone whose invested on paper numbers I am willing to bet is showing a lot less than the reality of if it unless they took realized gains by selling(into the appreciation rate) or cashed out refi. 

Admittedly I am new-er to the Valley, but from driving all over it, it seems that the West Valley is going crazy...they are building as fast as they can. 2 new chip factories and tilt-ups everywhere.I'd bet on the West Valley if it were me....

Frankly I think this is just the way it is on the internet - people expect everything to be free, and don't really want to pay for anything.

In fact, there are even financial markets that specifically bet on future levels of the Fed Funds Rate (unsurprisingly called "Fed Funds Futures").These futures correlate very well with certain bond yields which, in turn, correlate very well with mortgage rate movement.

I am betting that those with the biggest regrets are those that bought at the wrong time expecting COVID level occupancy was normal and those that didn't take the time to learn what it takes to run a successful STR.

everybody get a pen and paper I got the information on Keystone funding Network it's a division of funding for flipping which is an internet program where they try to get you involved in getting their program using their computer software and all that kind of stuff Josh Allen will contact you after you get a 15 day free trial let me back up you can sign up and get a 15 day free trial everyday they will send you one or two or three or four emails and they all involve a video of some type just about as it tutorial supposedly I think really it's a smoke screen because you go into the website so far everything I pulled up is in the MLS just about and I tried to get to the funding sources they said they have hundreds of them and I signed up as a member for the 345 or $395 a month cuz I'm going to cancel in about 3 or 4 days anyway to see if they actually have lenders out there so far I can't get to it and I've met all their guidelines so what they do is Jerry Norton Jerry Norton it's called jln Group LLC 5406 West 11000 North Suite 444 Highland Utah 84003 I got several emails asking how I like the program so far I haven't been able to get into the program so far 90% of the time and as far as sources for funding they say they have sources for funding and it's free as I want me to respond to one of their emails where they will do a telephone interview so that I can be allowed access to hundreds of thousands of dollars and private investor money and what they do is an invedtor walk you through what you need to do like a mentor so to speak. after you find the deal you submit the deal and then what they do is they will give you a proof of funds letter so the person will take you legitimately I've never had to do that I just Pony up about $3,000 cash and put it in escrow so they know you're serious proof of funds letter doesn't mean squat most of the time especially from a private investor if it comes from a bank that's a different story so what they do is they want to walk you through the process supposedly they put a group of investors together and they fund 100% of your deal they will hook you up with the contractors who were going to do whatever improvements are and after everything is said and done basically you get a percentage of the net profit and they get the balamay  get about 60% of the net profit.  

Do not go and invest out of state because people come into the forum and try to convince you to work with them on these goals (so ridiculous), you aren't ready for that and you have a good foundation somewhat locally.Your best bet, if you can't move, is to keep investing outside of New Jersey and stay close to your current property.
