Those people to me are amateurs and will get exposed. 

Most coop (and that particularly true for non Manhattan coops) are practically companies ran by unpaid volunteer amateurs...a coop is a company which own a building and then lease it's unit back to shareholders...in many case you'll have a school teacher board president with an art director as a treasurer...great people with very little experience in running a company...5.

I think they say, "If you think hiring a professional is expensive, wait and see how much it costs you to hire an amateur."

friggin amateurs!

And yes, I have the guide for the relevant county, just trying to do what i can to make my plans not look like an amateur!

Unless I worked with a buyer before I would never submit an offer for them unless the buyer reviewed the CMA I provided.Submit 100 get 10 accepted and buy 1 is amateur in my opinion and lots of wasted time. 

Helpful for newbies, amateurs and also establish fortitude with knowledge for the veterans!

Very amateur. 

I only listen to Biggerpockets podcast while driving now, and in my down time when I used to watch mindless television I am watching youtube videos, practicing running numbers, checking COMPS, and trying to prepare to the best of my ability to not come off like a complete and total amateur when I approach one of you lenders on here with a deal I firmly believe will be mutually beneficial. 

Thank you all for your contribution be it by commenting or asking questions similar to mine.It needs to be known that I am an amateur in RE investing so this post/question is designed to help me broaden my horizon, and "see" this beast (RE INVESTING) from multiple angles and perspectives.Long story short - I have upwards of $20-$35k on hand, and I want to invest in my first property in Baltimore city or county.
