Usually my time spent with newbies last a minimum of 1-2 hours on our first meeting (either in person or on the phone).  

When all the dust settles, and the  person searching is tired and discouraged and gives up, Jerry may not have bought  a single lot, but he's made some money from the training he sold you, which was his main goal from the beginning!

It is my understanding that people refinance and then use those funds other ways (personal living, investing, some to buy another property) as a means to minimize tax obligation. 

If you use the Heloc option and decide to rent it out, don't forget that property (or you) will have to cover both your primary and secondary position notes.I don't personally see Marin being a great mid term market.

Personally I like the Section 8 program when the property is located in a super poor area with a ton of blight and crime.

I thought of selling back to the seller at the same price, and take the 12kish loss on repairs  I doubt they will take it back.. check your note to make sure you dont have personal guranteesNoted, thanks Jay!

If you did not like that experience, maybe you should try a smaller company to get a more personalized service experience.  

Together, we can harness the power of technology and creativity to make significant strides in our personal and professional lives.

When I partnered with friends on a multi-unit property a few years ago, we chose individual umbrella polcies from our personal providers.

I do know coaching/mentoring/selling programs can be good money, especially if a person knows how to market themselves or has a bit of prior exposure.
