I've gathered more knowledge than I can implement with all the BP content and other materials, lol.

I was hoping the rate cuts in the last 12 months would have had more of an impact on mortgage rates. 

Flat Fee buyer agency to reduce acquisition costs (get ~2% of the sales price back), and flat fee MLS listing to reduce selling costs to ~$500.

I have little confidence in turnkey providers, deals are already hard to come by, if they take another 20% cut before.. much better to buy a property from an owner that is in good condition.

At the end of the Capital Syndicate System video say that the program cost $97.00.

Some investors prefer to start saving for these ASAP, while others plan to deal with them when they happen.The unknown is Maintenance costs, which are often dictated by how "hard" a tenant lives in a property.

Two, you'll have a much easier time obtaining a mortgage product if you have a track record of W2 income.In the meantime, continue implementing the strategies you mentioned: save religiously, build your credit, pay any existing debt owed, etc.

As others say, make it crystal clear in your listing that the "shells may cut a dog's paws, and we don't allow pets."
