We went live in June and were very excited to see reservations book solid for June-August, then every weekend until Thanksgiving by mid July.

@Jesse LeBlanc, I still don't see what the point of any arrangement the seller/borrower and the lender had was.The only thing I can GUESS is that by overpaying the lender grossly, they will receive that residual money after January 1st and be able to book the profits in a different tax year.

I just read 5 books (out of print, published between 1979 and 1986) all related to wealth building thru real estate “trading and exchanging” (not for tax free exchange).These were the most convoluted, confusing, and unfocused real estate books I ever read!

You must dot your I’s and cross your T’s with a halfway house state regulators will be sure to look into the books since she gets federal grant money to run the house.

I am looking to possible leave Evolve and I have a lot of booking in Jan and February .

Use resources like BiggerPockets webinars, books, and mentorship.

But if you want an ROI, as well,  the industry has been lying to you, and everyone else.Foreclosures, probates taxliens... all circumstances that explicitly do not drive motivation to sell.I am writing a book on the topic and here is a passage from my book.Circumstance does not imply motivation.

BiggerPockets has a book about private lending and I’m one of the authors - so feel free to take a look if interest or respond with questions.

Clearing debt and saving up shows you’re laying a solid foundation, and the podcasts and books you’re diving into will definitely help you along the way.

Check out the "BRRRRR" method and book at the BP bookstore - this is really the secret sauce to accumulating a lot of properties every year since you can recycle (use) the same capital over and over to keep building a portfolio
