@Julie Kern Thanks for sharing and being so transparent and vulnerable.  

I sensed it could make me vulnerable, like if you misssed work or something, folks could be like "oh, he must be out showing a rental house or something".

I also think the paper dollar is vulnerable at the moment and feel a sense of urgency to convert it into a tangible asset quickly.

These people must not care or understand that they are making money by taking advantage of vulnerable or desperate people. 

If you do not have consistent criteria for each application you are vulnerable to being sued for equal housing violations.

Originally posted by @Josh Caldwell:@Charlie MacPherson - Great class, to sum up your training philosophy:1) Find vulnerable people that don't know FMV of their property.  2) Make up contracts with no sure buyer ar any money of your own to tie up the property.  3) Hire a lawyer that helps you get within 0.000000001" of crossing the line. 

If you don't know them prior to living with them then you have to take that risk, but I bet you they are feeling the same way about you.They are coming into YOUR property and being even more vulnerable than you are.

I wanted a tenant to use rent spree and they had the same concern which I agree with - as a lender, I use third-party software all the time, and I see the information that it provides, once you use third-party software, your information is vulnerable,and regardless of privacy policies, companies sell data and this is how identity theft  happens.

Reducing Market Dependency: Relying on a single real estate strategy can make investors more vulnerable to market shifts and economic changes.

Many of these folks were in the same shoes in the past, and people like to help others who are vulnerable enough to mention they are new and getting started.
