I've been watching a lot of videos, listening to podcasts, and reading books to educate us on real estate investing.We are in the process of seeking an agent as well as mentorship from seasoned professionals to navigate the complexities of the market today.

I would add have an unbiased party (maybe another experienced local investor, someone not involved with the sale of the property) do a detail video walk-through and pay them $100 or $120 before submitting an offer.With overextending yourself and leveraging too much, I've decided not to buy anymore and take out more mortgages at 7% rates for now. 

thank you all for your insight. preferred returns and distributions are super confusing to me. anyone know of a youtube video, book or podcast that explains the capital stack a little more in depth?

I found my path in the real estate world and it's because of the wide variety of education I received from the subto training videos and community.

@Sergio Diaz you may want to watch this video about S8 tenants:Section 8 Eviction in Cleveland.

adults=1&am...

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

The videos they send to you daily seem very convincing.

We actually made a short video of our closing on that deal that you can watch on our Facebook Page.

It could be books, videos, I'm open to learning anything!
