@Tom Nagy There are a number of existing forum threads covering the challenges RAD Diversified has faced with a number of investor's personal accounts of their own experiences.

have you had this experience? 

It happens, which is why I'm posting this story so others can learn from my experience.  

In my experience, you can absolutely use hard money in bank owned reo auctions...you still don't generally get access and thus need a lender who does need an appraisal in this scenario. 

Given you and your investor both have experience in different areas, I’d say keep a flexible approach and compare city requirements before putting too much money down.

I say this from experience. 

.- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

Hi.I am getting another multi family in forth worth And have no experience on the west side of that areaAll my rentals are in dallas Any idea how is the market in fw?

New agents can often compensate for lack of experience with enthusiasm, professionalism, hard work, or even their good looks.

No experience in Brooklyn but there are a lot of programs out there for rental assistance.
