Quote from @Dan Huang: @Tyler Sweet I am a firm believer in the disruptive value of blockchain technology and decentralization, and a crypto-friendly realtor in Las Vegas. 

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I went through similar experience when I purchase rentals from a turnkey provider in Indianapolis.

I have used HELOCs for probably most of the purchases of the properties I own. 

Quote from @Palak Patel: Hi everyone,I am new to the rental business and just purchased my first rental property.

Is there a friend, family member, or colleague that has real estate investing experience?

When I purchased a new phone and had to update and reinstall all of my apps the BP app wouldn’t update and wasn’t available in the app store.

But Mathew's comments above have given me pause, as most of my friends in the neighborhood that could afford the rent of a new condo have a car (or two).   

It's a good idea to connect with a realtor in the area where you would like to purchase.

@Shema Cochrane Most investors I've known in the mobile home investing space who have transitioned from smaller deals to larger deals have worked with partners to offset the risk especially when purchasing mobile home parks.
