Thanks-Scott Eadie Hello 👋 Scott Eadie…….It’s great to have you here on BP…….And to everyone whose shared there bits and for not judging nor undermining his abilities to survive the ocean waves of RE….Good thing is everyone believes you can achieve it if you can dream it…But do ask yourself, are you ready, are you willing to take up the journey?

The underlying architecture of these models makes them best for chatbots & translators (matching word meanings/uses across various languages and translating based on positional/usage probability).I understand in 10 years there might be an Ai that can do this, but right now, these tools are useless for achieving anything of substantial complexity (meaning anything from medium-large coding projects to properly valuing a home, or even calculating the proper $/sf avg in a zipcode), so I don't understand why you repeatedly advocate for their efficacy in this REI space?

Still, even breakeven with nothing down is quite an achievement IF you’re NOT paying an over market price in exchange for the owner financing of what would normally be your down payment.  

@Courtney Barnes this sounds like a a great goal, and it is absolutely achievable if you do your research and buy the right property.

It’s possible it achieves positive cash flow as an Airbnb but I worry about the down months and other risks associated.

@Heather Little A few things to consider and understand:What is the purpose behind achieving REP status?

It reaffirms that by taking action, continuously learning, and being willing to adapt, investors can achieve their goals without the excessive financial burden of costly courses.Thank you for sharing your wisdom and encouraging fellow investors to take the leap and begin their own real estate journeys.

.- **Set Clear Goals**: Define what you want to achieve with your real estate investments.

@Nathan G.Good question. 12,500sf: I have found that that is the min number of square footage where you can automate a facility and still achieve close to maximum efficiency with expense ratio.

I know that can be a trap for many now, because, to put the shame of their impoverished pasts behind them, they take on oversized mortgages and car payments and loads of lifestyle expenses that keep them living paycheck to paycheck forever.What have you had to unlearn along the way to achieving your own goals?
