I will say that communication with OpenDoor is much better than that of other institutional sellers I've worked with.

A terms sheet will tell a pro whether you know what you're talking about and give them a structure of the deal you propose, but it won't establish credibility with respect to your financial ability to pull off the deal.

While real estate investing aims to achieve financial freedom, this is only possible if you invest where rents outpace inflation and there is significant, sustained population growth.

This approach will help minimize the potential financial risks associated with renovations and working with contractors.

@Christopher Mooney - I house-hack a 2 Unit Building in Bayridge Brooklyn which is a 45 minute subway ride to Manhattan Wall Street Financial District (a 7 mile drive).

My end goal is to have financial freedom in 10 years or less by bringing in $10k/month.

I'm new here so may not have a full view but the overall climate seems to be-anything to make a deal-ridiculous financing, leverage the home you life in-who cares where it is located it will be easy to rent/manage from hours away-don't be gracious with your tenants and housekeepersMy guess is a tilt toward young and not financially stable which is awesome if remaining sensible. 

How often will you see financials?

I've already had to turn multiple people away after running their credit reports, so I can already see that it's not going to be financially feasible for me to be covering the fees myself.

They appear to be financial planners.
