Don't be that person.  

I am excited to connect with you all and share a bit about our Investment and Syndication Journey, since we all know it is a learning process. 

Look into DSCR loans, which use rental income for qualification, allowing you to scale without relying on personal income.

I second this, I use rentredi for my personal properties and it makes life super easy.  

Some people love that as the initial numbers look good, but probably over the long term they get tired of the common issues landlords face.It's not that hard typically to find a move in ready property, or even to find one that needs minor repairs, where you can capture the equity yourself vs the person selling it to you. 

The answer to this question is really a personal one. 

Me having several thousand good reviews help, but personally I would not book a property with 0 reviews. 

This is my first spec house and I’ve learned a lot.

I spent a lot of time and money to learn how to structure seller financing deals.
