Most “mentors” (there are a few exceptions) are paid actors representing one of a few “seminar” companies operating out of Provo, Utah or Las Vegas, Nevada.   

This is very market specific- my city just changed to rules on ADUs- they used to not offer permits unless the main home was owner occupied, but now they'll hand them out like candy. 

Thx.My bread and butter is Toledo but I know that all of Ohio is good.We are on track to do 100+ deals this year.Mostly turnkey tho.Get in and out as quickly as possible (Even when doing an A class flip).The less walls you have to move the better.I would never take on a full blown structural rehab unless the profit was ridiculously fat.Ohio is a "kid in a candy" store type market so you can pick and choose how you want to go about flipping lolThanks

100%.We have seen an influx of poor OOS investors looking at Milwaukee as if this would be a candy store and there were no local investors..The worst part for the local community is that OOS investors are often times totally detached from the comunity, they literally could not care less.

I would say the bulk of these travelers are traveling medical professionals, international & U.S. based students on internship / rotations / abroad programs, business travelers (esp international travelers), and traveling theatre troupe individuals (think about the actors who come to Chicago for Broadway tour shows by themselves). 

@Guy Gimenez   actor or hard money lender from So cal ?

I am also in the entertainment industry (Actor/Filmmaker) and like you took COVID-19 and all the delays as a sign to up my knowledge in some other money making aspect of life, so I got my license, found a brokerage that worked for me, and started studying the game. 

We as landlords are often demonized due to bad actors, I tried my best not to come across as a condescending butthole. 

At which point I wait for the foreclosures to start hitting the market and go skipping through town like a kid in a candy store.

There are bad actors in every industry, so you have to screen people similarly but those are my thoughts.
