I admired your ability to execute on such a high level while doing it all yourself.

Most HML are using a large LOC that dictates their underwriting criteria they dont have the ability to change that criteria lest they be out of compliance with their money source.. 

The instruction offered may be excellent but being that it is only offered weekly in most mentoring programs with the ability to ask additional questions at a resource center will not be able to compete with in depth hands on mentoring that could truly train someone to be successful. 

Or, don't have the ability to understand what's significant and what's not.

A bank will not go above 75% typically so you have no ability to borrower or maybe get out $20kIn this environment with high prices and rates - I personally don’t think it makes sense to borrower for a down payment as you are just over leveraging with multiple sources of loans.

Property managers can handle tenant screening, lease agreements, rent collection, and even routine maintenance with a network of reliable contractors, which could save you the headache of finding a trustworthy handyman remotely.That said, if you feel confident in your ability to manage these aspects remotely and have reliable contacts in place, you might be able to save money by doing it yourself.

By actually, I don't mean teaching you how to theoretically (SEO, "we buy houses" campaigns), I'm talking about them actually getting a property in your hands at the right costs.

I personally think it's a smarter model than the big box right now, but you will get more real life training at a big box.Actually Jonathan, my goal is to offer agents the ability to be an agent-owner of their brokerage by receiving stock awards, and the opportunity for monthly passive income streams that sure help you to 'get buy' in a down market when commissions aren't coming in. 

My concerns would be overbuilding and first-time homebuyers' ability to qualify for financing......which could very well lead to looser underwriting  guidelines.   

If you have the ability to house hack 3-5 properties in the span of 5 years, that's an excellent way of building wealth!
