Yes, they have some high fees but all and all such an easy process.

While you certainly can (subject to the contribution limits), your ability to make deductible contributions to an IRA is limited if your AGI is too high.

You are going to be great through the highs of the next few years after this year.

While I don't object to spending money to do one's due diligence, I don't know if $500 is called for when you can get very high quality syndication groups/meetups/information for free.

Quote from @Jed Butikofer: Unfortunately, it takes money to make money.With high prices and high mortgage rates, cash flow is difficult to find and we may not see a return to the 2018 market for a while.

Sure, mortgage insurance eats into your cash flow a little bit if you're putting less than 20% down but in the scheme of things it's really not that much.Also, you won't have 20% equity in your property in a year assuming you put 10% down unless you are forcing appreciation or you somehow get some high market appreciation.

Buy low sell high..
