Tim hit the nail on the head with what he wrote.All I can tell you is that in my neck of the woods is that finding a Section 8 tenant with a credit score at or above 600 would be like finding one with all their natural teeth. 

For me the appropriate number of credit cards is 4 with kind of higher limits, $15-20,000 and then I’ve got a Lowes card and getting higher credit on that thing is like pulling teeth!

It can be very gut wrenching/teeth pulling but it's very effective if you consistently do it.

In todays market, finding financing is like pulling teeth. 

I’ve been trying to rent a 1/1 for about 1.5 months but I expect a premium price because it’s a gorgeous apartment and the other tenants are paying a lot.

There is a beautiful style fan that is black and has gorgeous wooden polished fins that would look stunning there!  

Cut my teeth on some SFR/ small multi deals in Florida over the last 6 years.

No Mentor or Guru is worth any money use that money to buy a rental :)As your probably aware how wholesaling is taught in most states is illegal and the laws are changing daily across the country to bring some teeth to this niche of selling real estate without a license..

As easy as this sounds, it's not simple and usually like pulling teeth.

True Joel, but like pulling teeth to get Syndicators to show you their track record, ie actual total returns with breakdowns of distributions + capital appreciation + principal paydown etc, and SEC so loosely governs Real Estate that it's the only investment category that doesn't require standardized return metrics like the 30=day SEC yield on any fixed income product is mandatory, or audited GAAP accounting standards on finacials from public stocks/Reits etc Real estate seems to be still a bit more un-regulated "Wild Wild West" than other parts of the investment economy, but i guess hence the much better returns i've had in real estate, risk = rewards This is why the good sponsors get have audited financials and have a third party verify their track record.
