I am 14 hours into the 20-hour online course offered by "RealEstateU."

Now I found one that specializes in real estate investors that was recommended by an online mentor.

They list properties on their own site, plus Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com.

Which is why I pay more, for less cash flow in highly desirable areas.In high income areas, rent is a lower proportion of income so therefore your tenants have a higher capacity for paying higher rent because rent is less than 20% or even 10% of their income.

Hi @Tyler Bolton I hope I can help clarify given I see a lot of muddled points of view on these matters online.  

I encourage your friend to forward the unredacted prom note to the SEC via this link https://www.sec.gov/tcr Click on Submit a Tip.

My number 1 tip would be to go off market and find owner that wants to sell at a discount / prefers speed and convenience. 

In online forums, the danger I've experienced is the "national" effect. 

My realtor recommended SDIRA Wealth, a company known for its high-volume new builds every year.

I don't have much patience or sympathy towards the annual flood of "Terrific End-of-Year Tips to Cut Your Taxes" webinars, podcasts, articles and whatnot.
