@John Warren is spot on - do not hold your breath waiting for PEX to come to Chicago.

@John CastleberryCost seg has become a highly popular strategy but there are several blind spots to consider.

I only mention this because according to you he's "the most reputable person in the real estate industry and the most trusted and admired Bigger Pockets contributor":"its up to the owner to have them inspected quarterly and remedy wet spots or mold at the first sign..

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

Honestly, I just wanted to spread some helpful info across various groups because I know folks hang out in different spots and might be into different things.

.- Touching the MoneySometimes when people hear the kind of interest I pay they will get so excited about loaning me money that they want to hand me a big check right on the spot.

Why did you pick that spot?

Some call this the infinite return model.Pending the amount of capital you have to invest, I can also help you buy your first building individually.I started with a 12 unit and am now GP in over 1000 units worth $130M.After 46 years in the industry, I am opening up a few spots on my mentoring program wherein students will have direct access to me and all I can provide. 

Maybe commercial spots?

(A) creating a complete system from 0, to source these potentials, build the websites, pay the PPC fee's, maybe some billboards, maybe some radio and tv spots, maybe pay a marketing team, then a coach to figure out how to do all the things, or burn $$$$ for a few years to sort it all out.---- OR ----(B) Network with the REALTORS who already have done ALL that in (A), and have gotten dang-good at it, so good that they are weekly/daily sourcing potentials.
