@Constance Kang well you discovered how many of the most expensive REI instructors work in this industry.

I was thinking of doing Airbnb arbitrage in Cincinnati but discovered that there is a restriction that the STR operator has to live within 50 miles of the property.

We always did better sticking to the K.I.S.S. methodReal estate has enough complexities and none of us are rich enough to need super-secret anonymity.  

While we were in escrow, the title company discovered that the owner didn't disclose a second mortgage on the house to neither her agent nor the title company, her plan was trying to dismiss the foreclosure in court and hope this would go away before anyone would find out about it.

His big secret make 25 offers a day well in the crash of Vegas that could have worked but today come on really ???

There is no "secret" that the big boys are doing necessarily, just incremental pieces of information, relationships, and knowledge that have been built up over time at scale. 

They sound like regular conversations where the RE professional/investor is genuinely interested in discovering the seller's pain points to help find a solution.All the best!

If you don't have a credit card, I would recommend Discover's credit card for college students. 

While I've been enrolled in an online course, I've found it to be quite costly and not as practical as I'd hoped.I recently discovered BP through a friend, and I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge and support this community offers.

They do share their secrets in how you can buy RE using credit lines to pay down your mortgage off in 7 to 10 years.
