When an investor starts out, they are so focused on that first (couple of) deal(s) and are usually either not seeing (lack of experience) or not wanting to see (emotion) any problems in the deal. 

This summer I want to add a couple of outdoor games. 

if it is serious I have a couple of questions for you 1) what is the last syndication that you have seen that did not project a majority of the return from value increase?  

Only a couple exceptions exist to their caveat emptor doctrine. 

I’m a contractor with a couple single family homes for rent.

Most folks are charging 10% of the rental rate for monthly PM fees. 1 months rent for a leasing fee and couple hundred for a lease renewal.

Lenders have been accommodative for the last couple of years because they were facing a declining market with no buyers. 

I have an excellent consultant who helped us a couple of year back.

Quote from @Leeling Chew: Hi BP community,I have a couple of questions:1.

After a couple of years of treading the path to frugality to build this financial runway, I've networked with the greatest people who made this all happen, of course, it took the strength, determination, time, etc to place myself where I am today but, without the mentorship of my two great mentors whom I wish used BiggerPockets so I can mention, I don't believe I would have made it thus far relying on some whimsical dream that this will all pan out accordingly, thank you for everything Greg and Lashawn.In addition, I would like to thank Bigger Pockets for connecting me with the greatest realtor @Stephen Schmitt Who took my dreams and aspirations to the core when we first connected and spoke about my future goals to replace my W2 job for financial freedom. within three months of me deciding to pull the trigger and get pre-approved, we found this killer cash-cow that apprised over purchase price!!!
