Avoiding the occupants from squatting is best addressed with background checks, employment verifications, and references before signing the lease.

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

For some background info, I am 22 years old, and I graduated college in May 2024 with my bachelor's in construction management.

This level of professionalism becomes second nature.Frankly, when you come from a corporate background and you enter REI you are shocked by how primitive most "investors" operate.

pretty basic website with no indication of what they do.. but I like it that the principals are on there with a bio.. you should be able to do some background on them.its all about the team..

I have legal background, billing, office and executive assistant type experience, and now many years of marketing experience as well.

You can oversee this aspect from the background but don't try to directly engage a GC from out of State without having someone tied to your success there to watch what's going on.

I don’t like my tenants getting the idea that they will be charged anytime they report something wrong.That’s just my two cents without knowing the entire background on your relationship with the tenant.

The background check is supposed to identify the amount of risk, then you determine whether you can mitigate that risk or not.

Bottom line is nothing is new in real estate transactions or how you put them together its is only new to folks with no back ground in real estate..
