I've been in the lending Industry for 20 years, and I feel many people on BiggerPockets give misleading information a lot of times.

I have a feeling this is designed to maximize retention of now dislocated persons. 

Plenty of people invest remotely, and as long as you have modest expectations (not chasing the highest possible yield), and are using light leverage, and don't get suckered into buying in a part of town that you wouldn't feel comfortable visiting in broad daylight, plenty of people do this and do... fine.

Feel free to call my office and speak with me if you want to look deeper. 

I feel like maybe these markets are too saturated.

@Sino U. feel free to reach out with any questions.

Quote from @LaTonya Clark: I can cancel the deal with no problems. yes, I feel like I am forcing this bc I want it so bad.

I have some who will simply lend 100% of PP and 100% of Rehab  up to 70-75% of ARV in parts of the midwest and SE - feel free to shoot me a DM and we can discuss! 

If not in a bathroom, I feel these are trashy.

Feel free to inquire about their staff qualifications if it's a larger organization.2.
