They have the best data of exactly how things will come out in the wash vs an agent who's focus is getting you to buy something. 

I would have pressure washed the driveway as well.

Get a job working at a bar a few nights a week, buy a pressure washer and go door knocking to pressure wash driveways and decks (for example, does not have to be that), and be an agent that hustles, works open houses, goes to RE meetups, networks like crazy, and learns a lot. 

My wife and I are still in the 'learning phase' as real estate investors, but we know for sure that in the next year (a) we will be converting our primary residence in to a rental, and (b) buying another house that will be our primary residence for 1-2 years so that we can qualify for an owner occupied mortgage.

Thank your lucky stars that you came across BP to find the truth because Morris white-washes his online presence.Here are links to the Holton-Wise documentary as well as a follow up video: DocumentaryFollow up Best of luck out there...

Ellensburg, Wash.9.

Making the point that the average RE investor does not belong in a syndication and should invest directly in properties , C an attorney looking to promote his “ ambulance chasing”business .A - We are experiencing the importance of proper diligence in real life with LPs losing money or having their capital at significant risk.B - None of us want to be average...or would want to be in deals right now where average levels of diligence were performed.C - I'm not in the business...just an investor (in syndications and my own personal portfolio).

But then again, I might be a wee bit biased...

Could the yard use a trimming or the driveway use a pressure wash?

hi Sean we live in Ontario and have been investing in the us for 7 years. we did a lot of looking but are now settled in investing in toledo and Detroit. the numbers are solid and its the easiest place to keep an eyes on things. remote is possible for sure but things seem to go a bit better with a wee personal touch.
