Good things can happen from this, but I must give you one piece of advice that you cannot take for a grain of salt.There are no groups of people that are more notorious for shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to real estate than:A. a group of lawyersB. a group of doctors/medical staffC. a group of teachers/professorsFor some reason, despite their high IQs and whatnot, they get into horrible deals time and time again, and their real estate careers typically last 1 or 2 deals max.This doesn't have to happen as long as you're ultra consercative in all estimations and calculations when landing your first deal.

The ultra successful agents pick & choose who they work with.The life cycle of a successful agent moves from grabbing any client who will work with them to doing entry level screening of all clients to eventually outsourcing all buyer showings to team members.A POF before meeting a buyer at a property is simple entry level screening.

Starting out, most people mail absentee, high equity and for those types unless he's in an ultra competitive market, the cost savings are worth it.

Allure Ultra, not the lower grade.

Grand Rapids, where I invest, is ultra competitive right now.

Soaked and puddled black black black.This was a potential 1031 target - thus we are ultra disappointed.

You won't get the ultra-low interest rate of a VA loan (or no money down), but if the numbers work, go for it!

The ultra wealthy clients I deal with tend to want safer quality assets and with equity growth at decent cash flow returns that  outpace inflation.No legal advice given.  

The private people tend to not post as much and come on here looking for someone to connect with.I have connected with some ultra wealthy people on here that have become clients.

There are a lot of ultra generic questions that make me want to hurl myself off of a building such as " I want to invest in Real Estate, where do I start?"
