I have noticed with all of the guru's out there, it's gotten more difficult. I

I was told that they were having technical difficulty.

And I generally require a sponsor that has full real estate cycle experience with little to no money lost, low leverage, high skin in the game and reasonable fees and promotes.However, other investors will look at these deals as bad/too boring for them because they are more aggressive and not concerned about the risks of default, refinance, interest rates changing etc.

I am having difficulty finding a lender who can match a loan type as the single family seems to be complicating things.

Like "renting to section 8 tenants is actually really easy", "your agent is not on your team just connect with people like me doing hundreds of deals every day and use my team instead", that hood properties will have "15-25% net caps" for beginner out of state investors when in reality they will definitely lose money every month due to the rent not being enough $ to maintain a rental property, never mind all the tenant issues involved with this property class or the difficulty of managing them remotely... but he's done thousands of them just this week while sitting on the beach in Florida... 

Quote from @Bree Jimenez: There are many ways to skin a cat, but you should choose one way and stick with it until you figure it out or learn that it's not working.

John may find some difficulty selling an entire property package in such short amount of time. 

There are companies out there that have 0 skin in the game and are just referral sources and there are others who are vertically integrated so they own/manage the entire process from start to finish. 

it's all difficult, i think =) good thread.Would you call it difficult, or easy, to go pick out a target area this weekend.

I am having difficulty with this as well.
