Is there a critical flaw in your home town? 

In some places, it's a lot worse than others.Any real estate investment business model that insists you can just casually whistle up high-quality rehab handymen and contractors right when and where you need them is fatally flawed.

Maybe spend some time going through the actual listings, property by property, instead of relying on computer logarithms that could be flawed.

Develop a basic understanding of real estate numbers so you can vet your underwriters and make sure you’re working with the right partners who have the same risk profile as you.I’ve seen underwriters self-label as “conservative” only to uncover that they were way more aggressive than I was.

The flaw I see in your logic is this...who's going to want to rent out an apartment that has holes in the roof, water leaks, questionable HVAC, faucets don't work/toilets backed up (God forbid overflowing onto the renter below them), electrical is a hit or miss...thought I was charging my phone but hello this outlet doesn't work.

Whether it's virtual or in-person, there's always new information to uncover.

People smell dishonesty miles away.the biggest flaw when it comes to rei is that investors treat sellers as the enemy.

Perhaps initially getting something closer to 1% that evolves into a 2% is a stronger investment in the long run. 2% from the start could indicate a fundamental flaw in the properties value and location.

The flaw in this approach is that your second lender might have a seasoning requirement before they will use a value other than the original purchase price.

Is your book this flawed with incorrect information?
