Congratulationswhat you’ve found that both the INVESTMENT side of real estate, and theBUSINESS side are very competitive; therefore profit margins are compressed, so those “home runs” people like to bragg about are actually quite rare.  

(YAY - I love people becoming biz owners).   

Most people selling properties are not professional investors.

Typically people think FHA because it's what's thought of as the least amount down which is commonly the goal when we all get started.

Many people who own rentals and are already self managing them will set up a pm biz to be able to adopt a Solo 401k.

I just stayed in a hotel in Moab and we had an A/C issue and it took two days to resolve and, honestly, that's not that out of line with my normal experience at hotels.I don't know where people dreamed up this idea that all hotels have someone waiting outside your room ready to resolve anything in 5 minutes. 

If you have any questions feel free to send me a message and I'd be more than happy to help you get connected with some of these other essential people as well. 

In the end, people rely on internet for all sorts of things and you want that to be reliable.

My 2 cents is prices are crazy inflated right now, but believe it or not I think it will continue because of continued demand pressure for the area from people fleeing higher cost of living areas and moving there, with access to 87/17.

FHA gets a bad rap because sellers and many agents think it's only for people who don't have the money so if I had 20 percent, but wanted to use FHA, I would present a proof of funds with my offer showing I have more money, but am using the FHA as a financial option so I can get an investment property as well somewhere else.
