If you do agree to sign, you can (at least in my area) specify in the contract that it is just for a particular property, or a particular location, etc. 

Perhaps they invited Jerryll based on his extensive SEO knowledge and did not look into his questionable marketing methods and extremely high course pricing at $5800 and $19,800. 

Hi John,Not sure where you are located but if in Austin, I too may USAF retired and probably could give you some pointers over coffee or lunch.  

I'm new here so may not have a full view but the overall climate seems to be-anything to make a deal-ridiculous financing, leverage the home you life in-who cares where it is located it will be easy to rent/manage from hours away-don't be gracious with your tenants and housekeepersMy guess is a tilt toward young and not financially stable which is awesome if remaining sensible. 

And location makes a huge difference. in Markets that dont move much in value then door count can be critical but in markets where prices may have 2X to 3X over the last say 15 years door counts are not as critical to net worth .

If you buy in a vacation area there really is no safety net other than desirability/location…I guess just don’t pay up too much.  

I would say though it could be an extension of your brokerage too. 

Maybe a really good location?

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.
