Looking for advice from you BP pros out there.I will be purchasing either a single family residence or multi family residence home in the Cleveland, Ohio area no later than January 2025 and intended on purchasing usin...

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I moved to Florida in 2017 and have been involved in 45+ flips and currently manage over 36 units throughout Tampa Bay.

Ps I'm all about giving back, so I would be interested in helping out some high school kids for sure, or getting involved with mentoring somehow.

BUT I still understand the point that most people made, these are not concrete/stick built structures with conventional building methods, and it is owner/operator, and it's a volatile industry, and its 50min from the Gatlinburg hotspot, and the main house is a double wide, etc.I guess my dream would be that an owner that wants to live and work in one place can buy this property, live in the main house and self manage the property.

Before Baselane, I was dealing with a mishmash of payment methods, including cash, checks, Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App.

Its certainly not "guaranteed return" - thats a word to always stay away from in real estate (in finance or even investing in general)high level - its because HMLs are going to be secured by the real estate, meaning in event of default, the lender can get the property to be made whole - somewhat trust is involved, but thats the main mechanism behind it

Just bear in mind that trips to Maui involve 'discretionary' funds...A few more things to think about during your due diligence. 1.

While I am not involved - i have read the accusations and whether or not if they are true, that would scare me enough to stay far far away from anything they are associated with. 

Getting multiple contractors involved will be your best bet to get a reliable estimate, though you need to come up with a scope of work.
