This is where I think offices can succeed bringing people back, if there are things on site that benefit all tenants.

The resources are abundant - spreadsheets, contracts, tangible items to help you succeed.

Even then you want to know you're likely to succeed.   

Yes, it's easy to ask you these questions after the fact, but you won't succeed unless you carefully review your mistakes and learn from them.Not sure I agree with your statement, "RTR knew they’d messed up".

This form of lending is stupid to engage in, if they have 5-7 deals and don't have $25k-$35k in capital to do it then they clearly aren't succeeding with Pracer's "teachings". $25k-$35k is a joke to enter real estate with.There's very little reason to engage in transactional "gator" lending.

People are attempting to - and succeeding at that - ignore and override all kinds of tax rules.

If you don’t like to read, listen or educate yourself than unfortunately you will likely not find much success (although I am sure there are those out there that have succeeded without).Rich Dad Poor Dad, Millionaire Real Estate Investor, Multi- Family Millions (Dave Lindahl), ABC’s of Real Estate Investing, The Book on Rental Property Investing, Hold, The Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing, The Due Diligence Handbook for Commercial Real Estate, Millionaire Real Estate Agent, The Book on Managing Rental Properties (Brandon Turner), The Emyth RevistitedCrushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate, Emerging Real Estate Markets ,The ABC’s of Property Management, Wheelbarrow Profits, The One Thing, Outliers, Start with Why, David and Goliath, Chasing Excellence, Extreme Ownership, The Compound Effect, The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster, Be Obsessed or Be Average, The 10x Rule, The Obstacle is the Way, Ego is the Enemy, Am I Being Too Subtle, 48 Laws of Power, Atlas Shrugged, Man’s Search For Meaning, Sapiens, Tools of Titans, Four Hour Work Week.Step 2 (financing): To get a better idea of what I was capable of purchasing, I met with four different lenders and began a relationship to acquire funding.

It would be fantastic to exchange advice, share our experiences, and help each other succeed.

It's very doable, every day I see and talk to people who make living doing this, but ultimately few people succeed in it (just as in ANY business out there).I wish you best of the luck.

Let me know if you have any specific questions you have about my strategies and I'll do my best to turn your post back into a productive exchange helping you succeed.
