I didn't think it is necessarily a bad thing, just is more of a sales strategy than anything else.why do you think that the concept of investing in real estate with 0 money is an "idea" instead of a real thing. 

This time of the year we are talking about strategy and goals for our REI for next year and frankly, I am not sure where to go from here.

What real estate strategy do you want to start with?

This includes the strategies and actions  you employ by being able to do your own deals without any assistance.

Focus on cash flow and exit strategies, and consider starting with a smaller project to gain experience and minimize risk.Good luck!

It’s all about scale, so keep hunting for deals that align with your strategy. 

You can switch strategies later.
