The first 5 times will be painful and frustrating - watch one of Brandon's or David G's videos on how to run the numbers - you'll become quick after a few dry runs.Just make sure you underwrite the deals against your Goals (ROI %, Cashflow $, potential longterm appreciation, etc), and run the numbers as if you're NOT in the property. 

I'm also soaking up knowledge from YouTube videos, but there's nothing like real-world tips.Thanks in advance for your support! 

I've watched Chad Carson's videos Small and Mighty RE Investor.

Yeah, no watching TV in the mathroom LOLWe have always required that our contractors install the (singular) TV mount and then charge $25 per drywall hole at move-out.

I bought a DSLD home before they built it and watched them construct it and live in a neighborhood that has had about 500 homes built in it in the last 6 years. 

I also break down all the investment zip codes ncluding DeSoto COunty, MS in my weekly podcast on Youtube.

I have bought recently plenty of deals in the MLS that hit the 1% rule some investors target.The wholesaler route can get you some below market deals but, man you have to watch those wholesalers.

Someone found us on our YouTube channel and the rest was history.
