Quote from @Sanjay Bhagat: 1) Is there a syndicate/s in BP which has gone through all the 4 real estate life cycle (recovery, expansion, hyper-supply, and recession) ?

We are living in the Golden era of wine right now - never before has there been so much good inexpensive wines - but like golf there's just not enough users to demand all the supply.

Sure, you are going to be getting/saving the Realtor commision, but in order to do that, you need to spend the investment into the Real Estate supplies that get you there.Thanks, I am certainly aware of the MLS benefits and agree. 

Throw in a few nice touches, like coffee or board games, to wow your guests.Keep extra linens, cleaning supplies, and essentials like toilet paper handy so turnovers are quick and easy.

There's a lot you can do remotely such as listing on websites, pricing strategies, arranging/order supplies, guest communications, going to the property and doing work on it (note: travel time generally doesn't count).

Many people start out active because they want exposure to real estate and don't know that you can start out passive - you can effectively hire the asset manager and supply capital to the investment.You can have great success as an active or a passive investor - but it is important to understand the difference and to select whichever option matches your skills and resources the best.Good luck!

Some trusted vendors to build initial credit include:Uline: Office supplies and shipping materials.Quill: Office products.Grainger: Maintenance and repair products.These vendors report to business credit bureaus like Experian, Equifax, and Dun & Bradstreet, helping you establish a payment history.3.

Additionally, your loan purchaser would supply the necessary documentation.
