I've actually had an investor give two of the properties back to me after religiously making his payments for 3 years on time but got a set of bad tenants and could not maintain the rentals. 

@Nick Rivers If you've already taken courses and webinars, then the only thing that will help you become more proficient is by actually underwriting deals on a regular basis.

The model flagged listings that could likely generate more revenue with better descriptions.4.Market Comparison: Using Zillow Zestimate APIs and AirDNA, they compared similar properties in the area and forecasted how much more the property could make if the photos and descriptions were improved.5.Property List: All of this data was organised into a Google Sheet for further review.6.Automating Outreach: They used Claude to generate personalised outreach emails and DMs to homeowners, pitching offers for the properties.The entire process revolves around identifying undervalued homes that look worse online than they actually are.Has anyone seen anything like this?

Nobody ever went broke over a duplex, I know this now,  but I have to admit I had some serious doubts about this when I started 16 years ago, I bought every course I could find, already on CD's, this was post cassette tapes lol, and I paid RichDad Education for a one year coaching program (turned out my coach was a girl in a call center without any actual experience).
