Are you telling me it doesn't matter that I could stroke a check for the amount you are about to lend me and it doesn't freaking matter? 

@Adam BlachnioIn answer to your original question.... different strokes for different folks.I am born and raised in NY and I can tell you I do not invest here (outside of an occasion couple of small deals that fell on my lap). 

@Yasir LillingstonHave you ever heard of different strokes for different folks!!!

Sue has a stroke, goes thru rehab but now cannot bathe or dress herself or transfer without help and Bob can help her sometimes but not all the time as he is forgetting how to do simple tasks. 

She's been saying her son will clean up but he hasn't at all- he is working full time, has a new born, and the 70 year old mom is watching the baby.Unfortunately the dad just had a stroke and is in the hospital recovering, and they need to sell their trucking business as he is not fit to run it anymore.They did an addition a few decades ago and did not pull permits, or put footers in to support the structure which is a washer/ dryer room they built off the back of the house.

Someone can teach you at the side of the pool how to swim and the different strokes you can use to swim but you won’t really know how to swim until you finally get into the water and start moving your arms and legs.

Looking back I probably should have just slow stroked the rehab and today I would have had a few decent cash flowing rentals.Happy investing!!

The next draw is at foundation inspection, then mechanical rough inspections.When we deal with reputable lenders (IE: A large or at least regional non-HML, non-private money lender), I typically see 10% down stroke at contract execution and then draws against completed work... so, surprise surprise, we look at doing 10 draws through the course of the project.

Others may not like this, because allowing you to do this will inevitably give you the lion's share of the profits.Different folks, different strokes.

@Kyle Kovats  having been around the SFR gurus for 20 years I can tell you that why people don't recommend training is that in the SFR space or wholesaler space. .the fall out is super high.. and the folsk that sign up for it many times are putting the 40k on their credit cards.. then really are not ready or capable of transacting and just end up in massive credit card debt.. that is why you get the negative feedback on paid for real estate education.I would think on the syndication route.. those that pay for training have advanced real estate knowledge already.. can stroke a check no problem for the training..
