Direct lender here, happy to discuss our processes and the lending game.

Hit me up if you want to talk to my 1031 people for further game planning. 

I am risking a lot, but I wanted to get into the game so to speak. 

It's part of the game.

It took my wife reading "rich dad poor dad" and start playing the cashflow board game for it to click with her and get her 100% on board.  

We just jumped in the game in April when we bought our first STR in Sevierville, TN.

Hi all, I currently have one real estate property in Cleveland Ohio (purchased in 2019) but have largely been out of the real estate game since COVID reared it's ugly head.

RE is a LONG game.

Sorry I was just thinking about the Michigan and OSU game a few months back oops!

Personally not a fan of out of state BRRRR.I think it's a recipe for disaster and having been in the game for 10+ years, I've seen the disaster first hand as I bought hundreds of deals from disgruntled out of state investors who thought they can do it themselves.My property management company has doubled in 12 months also due to out of state investors getting caught with a poor property manager when trying to do it themselves from afar so they come to us for help 🤷‍♂️I'm seeing many investors buying D class crap on the MLS for too much and that needs work.They end up being into the property for 30% more than they would be that if they just bought turnkey.A true turnkey provider will find the cheapest/best deals through a variety of acquisition methods, renovate well and sell for fair market value (And manage in-house).If things go South, they are solely to blame and the penny drops with them.But with DIY, who is to blame?
