I joined this community because I want to get my hands dirty and not just meet people online but form some real connections and try to provide value back to those that are willing to offer me advise and guidance, and even encouragement.So, this is my current situation:Back in 2020 I was one of the fortunate ones who purchased real estate when prices were still low (compared to today) and interest rates where at 3% or below.

@Jorge Abreu - He used to work for elevate did he not (I believe that is what it said online before he scrubbed his linkedin)? 

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

They put alot of the meetings online as well with information that comes from them.

I can become a millionaire just by looking at street and sat view and bid online in my underwear. 

I offer an online payment portal to submit rent payments via ACH or CC - they "couldn't figure out how to use it" so I set us up to accept Zelle payments.

Not sure if that is still legal or even translates in today's world of everything online but seemed like a good screening tool to me at the time. 

I picked her exactly because she had a good social and online footprint!!

Quote from @Christopher Johnson: @Scott Trench - FALSE - DECEPTIVE POST - It's sad people resort to this online bullying, invasion of privacy, attacking our staff, and clearly attempts to blackmail us for $. 

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.
