My initial background was in Commercial Real Estate and then I expanded into residential real estate.

I initially asked for a mortgage rates for this new property but I also asked for current rates for home equity loans because I am also considering getting a loan of my fully paid rentL to buy this next one.

Do you also require the initial applicant to have a credit score of 680?

There's not much you can do about others initial perceptions.

I hadn’t initially factored in the additional value, as we’ve already made significant improvements and updates to the property.

(Please don't construe any contact info I provide as an "endorsement" or "recommendation.")Regarding the company your inquiring about, I've come across the following links - for whatever their worth (they may or may not be reliable):https://getoutofdebt.org/46215/saen-higgins-switch...https://getoutofdebt.org/36930/are-wealth-without-risk-informercials-an-extension-of-john-beck-tax-lien-systems-challenged-by-ftcIt's unfortunate that there is often an inverse relationship between (a) the amount of marketing an education/guru company does and (b) the actual value of the services provided.The initial sale made by such companies are really part of getting unsuspecting consumers into a sales funnel that leads to selling the consumer an education course for $10,000's.

Looking at the replies it seems people find value in the initial training.

If we invest to 10 companies, maybe 8 would go bankrupt, but two would make the return (hopefully) more than initial investment.

In years past, I've used an app that was awesome for initial buying…  there was an option to add several properties, and even add all the properties together and view all your combined info in a portfolio report.

If a certified electrician told me that a GFCI outlet in the bathroom was installed correctly, and I had initially said it wasn’t, then I would immediately know that I need to update my education on that system and would hope that other inspectors feel the same.
