I also already had many RE deals under my belt, but never any self listings.

Although I have one under my belt, I still consider myself a newbie.  

@George Blower & @Dmitriy FomichenkoThank you gentlemen very much for your input.

I really need to get the experience of the flip under my belt.

Just a few other propane powered thoughts for what it's worth... a wall mounted Empire runs with or without power but the blower stops working in a power outage so the heat doesn't distribute as well... also like a Rinnai wall heater it has a minimum heat setting so will never get below around 60 so long as propane's in the tank

Once you have a couple of deals under your belt, raising capital becomes easier and less taxing.

I have a couple of years of investing education under my belt and am working harder than ever before every single day...working toward that elusive first deal.

i've noticed through the forums on here that some say dont buy in the rust belt for whatever their reasons are,and some are,i would like to know everyones opinion whether its negative or positive on buying multifamilies in these states of ohio,pennsylvannia,indiana,and michigan and being from out of state,reason being im finding quite a bit of deals their and some cheap prices.Anyone actually buying at all?

I'm not a pro, but I have a few years under my belt.

With a couple of successful startups under my belt I'm looking for the next idea.
