If you are going to be taking investors money, then you definitely need a securities attorney (and a pot of cash to pay for him or her.)  

No matter how many times you add to a pot, if your hand isn't good, your cards won't change.  

After browsing the net, I found this service of RedBins ( www.redbins.ca ) impressive.

I am currently located in the mountains of Peru and the net is a bit shaky this morning!

Living in Japan as I currently do, makes phone calls a bit tricky because of the time difference, but with solid reasons and a good pot of coffee, a phone call session is more than possible for me. :)

Your net is wider than you think! 

Good evening BP community and thank you in advance for sharing some of your time.I’m new to real estate investing; but after listening to BP podcast for years, watching hundreds of YouTube videos, and saving up funds to feel a comfortable safety net I have finally decided that 2021 is the year I start.I currently have an offer on a duplex near BHS and after running the numbers I won’t be making a significant amount of cash flow, but will be making some.As a new investor I still have some fears/worries in regards to my upcoming purchase.My quest to you is “If you could go back to your first investment deal, what would you do different and why?”

It costs 450k and is showing a 40k a year net. I

Then you have a large pot of money to start investing. 

If your net is $15K on a $300K asset that's around 5% ROI.
