For anyone starting out in real estate, I hope my story gives you a sense of what to expect (the good and the bad!)

other than the constant warnings and warning posts I dont think you can expect BP to be the gate keeper for Guru class's  keep in mind some folks do succeed and the cost of a guru package to them was one of the best things they ever did. 

On the "most will not cash flow", I meant it as an expectation of rates vs. output.

Expect delays and unexpected expenses: No matter how straightforward the project seems, having a contingency fund for emergencies is essential.Your Team matters.

We embrace S8 applicants, but screen them just like any other applicant.Many have an entitlement mentality and try to leverage their S8 voucher by pretending to be helpless:1) A percentage won't apply because they expect a landlord to waive application fees for them.2) Many cry broke and expect a landlord NOT to charge them a security deposit.3) Many of those same S8 tenants trying to avoid paying a security deposit, won't make an effort to call the list of nonprofits we send them that will pay their security deposit if they apply.4) A lot of them try to avoid paying for utilities.

Our experience has been that MTR residents do not book way in advance of their travel and they want to see great pictures, so being pro-active won't be as big a deal as you might expect.

Ive asked about getting essentially T-12 type info on the assets, but that hasnt been provided thus far.

Either way, you have to sign an agreement if you expect to have an agent show you any property.
