Might not be ideal to go from a personal home to a duplex/triplex/quad but it's a great way to buy with as minimal % down as possible. 

I'm not saying I won't ever represent myself, but the commissions aren't relevant in the grand scheme of things to me because there's plenty of money to go around everywhere if you're doing this right. 

They know people like me and other millionaires for along time will tell them to go f*ck themselves so they do not even contact or try.Successful people don't have time to mentor people for 1,000 bucks.

I’ve done the two postings but haven’t yet had to go to court.

I am also renovating a triplex right now and it would probably need to go in the trust as well.

Inflation will cause rent to go up and if your debt against the property is based on fix rate, your odds will only get better.

I have found it is better to use a Broker if possible so they can shop companies, and shop every year vs using a captive agent that can typically only sell their company policies.While it is good to shop, not always good to go with the lowest possible provider on insurance. 

Wholesaling is tough with a license in any state because the spread you earn has to go through your brokerage, but having a license when doing off-market appointments adds to your toolbox (you can always list when they want market price).

Most of the prospects offering this to us, disappear when we tell them they still have to go through our full application & screening process. - We almost feel sorry for the foolish/naive DIY landlord that inevitably falls for their sob story and accepts them.We have had 2-3 that have gone through our process and so we accepted their multi-month payment.

I think their general stance is going to be to go with whichever comparable property has the greatest degree of similarity in terms of (probably, in this order): location, age built, quality of construction/current condition, and square footage.
