It's often because people don't want to do the research or work necessary to get prepared to invest so they do things like talk about LLCs, scaling, and look online at hundreds of properties before ever seeing one in real life.The antidote is to go to real estate investing meetups, as many as you can, and never miss.

(I won’t go into actual numbers because who knows what horrid people lurk in the online universe.)

Online research will only get you so far. 

It takes a few minutes online.

@Kristoffer Ruohonen I have an online commercial multifamily group you could join and am just about to launch a German/European one as well since many many parameters are much different in these countries.

The faqs are also online: https://margaritavillevillasor...

We have been doing our homework, educating ourselves by reading books and watching educational videos online about how to better structure a company/ies for real estate investing.

There is also a way to do that with TurboTax desktop (but not the online version).  

If your business needs to be in a certain place, try to reach out to more people in other towns or online in bigger places.

Check out assumable mortgages online in those areas  You might be able to find a home with a lower interest rate for a reasonable downpayment.
