Hello to all,I am new to the site and new to real estate.

. - PRO TIP: many builders lose their license then create new company in name of wife or other relative/friend.2) Check Better Business Bureau, but don't assume all the complaints are legit. - If there area MANY, then that is a problem.

I am not a huge fan of buying a new car because of the value it loses but I agree with you, you are making money to spend it on something. 

On DLBA site.

Ohio is a lengthy foreclosure state and many fees not recoverable0% interest and they don’t pay then you are losing money every month as they have no incentive to payLastly having it at 0% and over priced from its value means if they don’t get a tenant then they just walk away as property is so upside down.If it was me as a seller these are awful terms as a seller.  

I don't know how likely I am to not lose any money based on the value of the information I would receive through the program.

In 2017 we started our journey with long-term buy-and-hold investment properties in the Memphis, TN area after selling a property that we were losing money on every month in NOVA that we purchased as a primary residence in Jan 2007 (talk about all-time bad timing) and then had to move with the Navy in 2009 (2nd all-time worst timing).
