Cantwell is even more odious than CI.In short we have determined to work with several agencies to see that CI is held accountable for the rip offs and scams that are perpetrated daily on the site.If you are truly in search of legitimate funding; private or otherwise, you will find that real, honest lenders have nothing to do with these kinds of sites.

It makes it more risky with vacancies/turnover and if an investor needs/wants to exit quickly.2) Our price points are very low entry so many can easily purchase with all cash.We also choose to not deal with the logistics of when it comes to selling a property via finance.I have always believed that "less is more" and could easily triple our sales volume if we wanted to sell via financing.So at the end of the day it's a decision which in our eyes protects investors long term interests and a business decision to minimize financing hassles on the back end.Much success

OOS investing has been a huge headache for me, to be honest.One thing is that a property may pass an inspection but once the tenant is living there and and putting daily stress on the house,  turning on faucets and light switches, turning on heat/AC etc, thing will start to break/malfunction.

G'Day Matt,You can only do so much with online research.IMO the online stats and demographics often times don't paint the correct picture.This especially tends to be the case for tertiary markets.Finding folks on the ground that "live and breath" the market is your key to success.Those folks on the ground are the one's that bring the "online stats and demographics" to life per se.They will know more accurately what's going on in their local market pretty much on a daily basis.I've always said that you can research online and find a market that has the best growth and cashflow potential.Find a property for a great price and on a great street and in a great area.But if your property manager or contractor are incompetent or cheats.You will loose money.So start with finding the right people first before finding the right market or deal.Just my opinion.Thanks

What are your daily carrying costs and how long will it take to evict them if they dig in their heels and make you go through the whole process at the end of which you're damn sure not getting a broom swept house anyway?

Have a planned/practiced 1-2 sentences about how you help people buy and sell real estate.Keep your expenses low, track not only what you spend (personal, and business), and track your "lead indicators"...x hours daily lead generating, # people you talked with daily about real estate, # social media posts you created about real estate topics.
