Consumers are very lazy and visually tend to make decisions with their eyes.

Assuming you have lots of flips available to you, you could focus solely on that if that's your jam, or you could slow things down a tad and BRRRR, buying fewer properties and spending part of your time (and capital) being a landlord (or managing your property manager).

Good afternoon BP,I have been on a tear as far as consuming real estate investing information (BP podcast, books, forums etc.) while I pay off debts and get my credit & finances in position to make my first deal.

At this scale, there's probably a good chance that there are various consumer protection laws that are designed to protect you as the owner.

Also given that construction hasn't kept pace with demand- ( population growth )  we are seeing prices rise as the more dollars are chasing fewer products. 

Listen to some BP podcasts, but be ware as there are 250+ so don’t get consumed listening all day to too many.

Of course you see it all the time, but it's a simple, no brainer adjustment to the nearest 100 to avoid potential delays.But these are not delays that realtors or consumers hear about, they just experience the end result in closing days delays that were in part do to the time and effort it took along the loan process to get an appraisal changed, a title commitment revised, etc.On the mortgage side, we ALL know of the issues those oddball final sales price amounts not rounded, can mushroom into!

The downside to buying a condo in a 2, 3 or 4 unit building is that you have fewer owners to split the cost of a big special assessment with.

If you name 3 or fewer properties on your list it doesn't matter how much their worth - sell your place for $570K and name 3 $5 mil apt buildings. 

I have been consuming all the great info from biggerpockets for 18months now but this is my very first post and I am excited to get insights, suggestions and particularly legal advice for my situation.I recently got laid off from a company that I had been with for 6.5yrs (since right out of college) and then within a month, they offered me another role which is outside US so I am very excited about the change and new experience.
