From my experience, these factors are the secret sauce for a long-term growth investor.My family absolutely loves the city, and we are fortunate to call it home.

Hard to be even curious about what the secret is, isn't it?

Anyway, most Realtors will not have any 'secret' properties that you can't just find yourself ..Realtors may know who is in distress that could turn into a deal which is information worth paying for.

Here’s the secret: Create an LLC and have the LLC lend you a mortgage on the property you are receiving.The reason why this works is because instead of you needing cash or receiving a cash out loan, we are now refinancing a loan – your loan.

Most of the homes I've represented here recently have been new builds, and I currently view the margins on rehabbing off-market or wholesale deals as too risky in my market.What has really made me consider the Flip System is my own experience of making offers on 5-6 homes — each over the asking price — only to find myself among many bidders and ultimately seeing another offer accepted. everyone is fishing out of the same pond if you think some system is going to tie you in to super secret inventory that is way below market. 

The guru's that promise to teach you the secrets are often packaging generic information and selling it at phenomenal markup to people that want to get started but often do not have the resources to start and the fee they are charged simply puts them further behind.
