Is it worth to pay that much for 1:1 coaching for 6 months and a laid-out course? 

My experience in Massachusetts, where it took nearly a year to evict a non-paying tenant, has made me more selective about the locations I invest in.I am looking forward to learning and sharing insights with this community! 

The best strategy is to buy properties that need fixed up with hard money/HELOC, fix them up, the refi out to pay back your HELOC/hard money.

The garage and the fact that a long term tenant was in place paying market rent.

Once the work was complete, I refinanced to pay off the hard money loan and held the property as a long-term asset.This duplex also marked the start of my short-term rental journey—we ran our first Airbnb from one of the apartments before scaling to bigger projects.

Somebody somewhere had to pay for that real estate at some point and has continued to pay for it since.

Keep in mind of the I/O(payments/period) and game plan on how fast you'd like to pay it down. 

The only thing in that county is that I pay a higher property tax rate as an investor vs. a homeowner. 

Things went to crap through covid and the borrower stopped paying. 

But I would not consider what the seller needs to make in determining what I'm willing to pay for a property, especially when youre buying a problem like this.
