VRBO is having a bit of a glitch right now and loses connection at times.  

And, for those people who have more time than money, they can put in sweat equity into directly owned real estate.

Its hard to find deals unless you are connected, advertise a lot, cold call a lot, knock a lot, and/or work very hard at it. 

Hope I can connect with experienced and new investors, lenders, real state agents and property managers. 

There is an incredible amount of points to consider when weighing the options on something like this and honestly, I don't recommend it to very many people at all ....even seasoned tradesmen and investors.

thanks for your time and help 1st off, full disclosure here, Rent To Retirement advertises their properties on my Investment Properties For Sale Show, so I am not a totally unbiased opinion and it's only fair that I tell you this up frontHaving said that, outside of running my show for people like them, I also own a property management company in Northeast Ohio and have worked with 1,000's of out of state investors over the years.I say all of that to say this, the overwhelming majority of negative reviews I have seen on them are very similar to a lot of negative experiences investors have with my property management company and others like it that I've worked with.

@Travis Biziorek we've been on the same page about that forever:)Seems we both want people investing the RIGHT way in Detroit, so they brgin family & friends!

I see so many people get in awful situations only to find out "it was in the contract"; specifically getting out of the contract if need be.

I've partnered with several contractors over the years (before I got my own license) and it is very normal for the contractor to be paid for materials and labor, even if they are doing the build "at cost"It's complicated and as other have stated, you've gotten yourself in too big of a mess to be sorted out by some people on an internet forum.
