Bloody oath I do mate.It's never their fault and always yours (Ours).They rarely take any responsibility and cry victim.It's crazy to think but it's like many intentionally look for drama and deep down inside don't want success but rather problems.Someone to dislike and blame and to feel wronged by.All other personal and "at home" issues can now be blamed on this one unfortunate scenario.This "drama" per se is like food for the hungry and they need such drama in life to "survive".My apologies if my above comments sound weird as they are more so from a philosophical standpoint and just some thoughts that I have considered after 5,000+ investor intro calls and as you have mentioned, others feeling wronged by me or my company on many occasions.What a $#@% way to live IMO but I don't judge and sleep in peace.Again, I have been "wronged" by many but consider it my own fault.I also don't call them out publicly or post bad reviews, etc... 

Even I can do it, and I am generally the most unhandy person on the planet!  

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

The property is insured on your behalf, personally. 

Do you rely more on the deal itself or the person behind it?

I want to start smart and scale up as I learn the ropes, but I’m personally struggling to narrow down which area to focus on.If you’ve done this before, what advice would you give someone like me?

In other words, FB marketplace cast offs won't be the best fit unless you're lucky enough to come by some Pottery Barn or West Elm or brands like that. 

I've personally helped many OOS investors here and they've been very happy with returns. 

I'm currently working with an estate planning attorney and she said she said we could put the LLC in the Trust but said she was not the best person to advise on the pros and cons of that and that we should talk to a business law attorney.

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?
