👇👇👇 We see people breaking the rules all the time and here on BP as well.

For example, we have an artisan chocolatier in a town of 350 people.

I think too many people move on to property number two and three before property number one is really in good shape and later they regret it.

There are people who buy a longer term (12 months or more ) OPTION giving them a RIGHT to purchase a subject property, at a certain price, within a certain amount of time, and attempt to either sell the option for a higher price or close on a simultaneous purchase and sale to an end buyer paying a higher price.  

Just because other people might be getting away with it for now doesn't mean they couldn't crack down on you after you buy a property their.

The best way is with people you know. 

People who complain about the quality of leads typically fail to understand that it takes months and sometimes even years to nurture and convert a lead.

Plenty of people do have 10-20 unit and work thru it, you just need to think it thru and have a plan if you don't want to do all the work. 

Surrounding yourself with a team brings some risk, but the risk is on your ability to judge people and processes. 

I'm looking forward to meeting new people and am happy to share my experiences through my first 4 years in real estate with anybody who's looking to get started.
