Then sat still except for a subdivision development which has a long lead time.Just bringing on line as a 75 acre country subdivision.  

@Kyle LipkoRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Financial Freedom Network I laughed at -- after reading the agreement, no comparable value for that monthly price -- 3 or so years ago, if value has changed now, my time-based disclaimer is as aforementioned -- and Legrand would do well to disconnect FFN from his name, as I believe FFN is now out-sourced, whatever.I empathize with you , Joe and the other responders, but when I read Legrand’s, and most of the other guru’s, contracts prior to trying a teaser product, it clearly stated in the agreement that if customer did not want the upgrade service for which the teaser/free product, free video, whatever, was being given away, then customer must cancel within the stated period of time, which almost always range from 30 to 90 days [60 days is becoming more common, as more folks forget to cancel]So long as terms to cancel are clearly stated prior to contracting, I don’t find it unethical, -- and real estate gurus have merely adapted a teaser or rebate marketing technique used in most every industry -- recently even Chrysler cars [try our minivan for 60 days!

If they weren't that successful then are they the best people to be dishing out paid advice?

If you can get a note for 200K at no interest and you have completed your due diligence on this deal, then go for it. 

If you own the balcony (check CCRs, I have a unit where I don't own my private balcony) then it is all part of the unit.As an owner, you're on the hook for the actions of your tenant.

I worked as a firefighter so I got the building construction from that background and then the transaction and numbers I got with working within/alongside investors that were in the business doing the stuff I wanted to do.

Or, the "pay me to learn how to raise money, so you can then go and raise money for my deals".  

Probably starting mid-year 2025 hopefully those are leased up and stabilized and then we're off to the races again in SGF.You could also just simplify everything and park it in one house in Highland Park. 

A lot of newer investors want to get started in Real Estate and then turn the riskiest type of investment.
