I also attended Cody's Clever investor summit which was awesome. 3 days of hardcore training.

Unless you have a hard core disposition, as well as some landlording experience, consider hiring a local property manager.

That leads me to selling things which I am not comfortable with because it goes against my hardcore buy them and keep them ways.I try to be conservative but calculated.

I am from Venezuela and moved into the U.S only 11 months ago at the age of 21, as soon as I arrived I started learning Real Estate, I am an Engineer so numbers are my thing, so after a few months of hardcore preparation, I obtained my Real Estate License and quickly applied my knowledge and tools to Real Estate Investing.I found this deal after several weeks of nonstop door-knocking in Miami, it was hundreds of doors knocked and rejections before I was able to find this hidden gem.This property was in pre-foreclosure status when I found it.Here is how the deal went down:Purchase Price: $99,800 + Closing Cost: $3200Rehab: $50,000 ARV: $250,000Description: 3/1 SFH in OK condition in a fast growing area in Miami, full interior rehab was done. several comps of similar properties in the area have sold between $230,000-$280,000 price range.

TIA It's the hardcore ghetto.

If you wanted it "hard core" by the 1st, you should have made the due date on the prior 25th. 

As for me, I was a hardcore early riser always by 4am for the longest time.

I have been doing this pretty hardcore for about 2 years now.

There are hardcore Real Estate Investors that will only invest in Real Estate and hold cash reserves, and there is a substantial part of the FI (Financial Independence) community that advocates for Index Fund investing (a la J.L Collins' "Simple Path to Wealth").
