You will need to get a local, rockstar Realtor, contractor, lender, and property manager.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-tea...

@Carlos Ptriawan  Usually I'm attacked when I say thing like this, but well yes I'll try to explain from the big picture and mini picture here and kind of mixed bag PoV okay ;-) lol.in big picture, back to basicfirst of all , the relationship between the borrower and the lender ; are never equal.

Actually, the cash was in a paper bag.

Better hope it closes ok, or someone is holding a bag of *****Thanks.

100% agreed here.And the only investment that I could ever find that is as "passive" as can possibly be.Just need a large enough bag parked at 5.2% and one can go to sleep lol

If you day-trade or read the tea leaves for hot stock tips or play the ponies or simply put your money in index funds, do any of these things occupy your interest like real estate?

For paper products I provide 2 rolls of paper towels, a small roll of trash bags, and a 4-pack of toilet paper.

In my market it's a mixed bag currently: we still have very low inventory in the entry-level price bands (under $1M) where we are still seeing multiple offers above-ask on any reasonably-priced listing that's in decent condition (I saw one go over-ask by $500k last week with 18 offers!)

Was having breakfast and staring at me from my Tea cup in Munich.  

@Ethan GidcumbLenders will not and here is whyTake a $200k property needing $150k renovation and arc is $400kLet’s say lender will lend $325k - they are not giving it at closing - there will be construction draws as I have seen borrowers take money to use on other projects and then lender is stuck holding the bag until he sues on the guaranty and goes after the borrower
