Investing close to home allows you to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and be more involved in the day-to-day.

I’ve been coaching new investors for a while and many lack funds to get started but find both the lack of knowledge, experience, and funds, often derails them. 

So many variables can turn a deal sideways from 1 hour to the next - i.e. inspection findings, title issues, contracts, financing issues, taxes, dept. of buildings/local municipalities, etc.I'm glad to hear you made it through the challenges, and it sounds like you'll be able to leverage this experience as you grow your portfolio.All the best to you along your journey!

In my experience, most properties that go to auction end up overpriced so I'd be prepared to attend a LOT in order to get something that worked on paper.When I attended my first market auction with an experienced agent the advice he gave me was to figure out my maximum beforehand and stick to it (Seems obvious but people get caught up in winning).

If you have gross income of $3k but ongoing bills of $1800 we know it may cause a financial hardship so that reflects in our scoring system.Hope this helps, but in my experience an interview is:a.

And remember, authentic content that reflects your unique perspective and experience will always be more impactful than recycled material.

I have over a decade of experience in strategy consulting and in real estate underwriting for new acquisitions and ground up developments.

I own a duplex in Tempe Arizona and looking to continue to gain experience.
