The “gurus” feeding this information are usually paid actors who have limited or no experience in real estate investing or the real estate industry.  

They could not exist as they do without agents inputting that data, and NAR could end both of these companies overnight simply by cutting off their IDX feeds.

Meaning, they seem to have more of a heart for a person who seems to own a home or two, has a family to feed, etc.

I wasted months on this company only to discover that they lie about their offerings and are reckless with data feeds.

Hi Kevin,I'm a big fan of buying with cash and my thought process is quite contrary to everyone else's.Cash is KingCashflow is QueenLeverage can be a peasant lolOne can retire investing in Toledo with $1m in cash.Off-course, this all depends on how many villages you need to feed 🤓I have too many "villagers" on my back so it's a bit of a different story for me.Sub $100,000 markets like Toledo require volume to work and to be worth the risk if you are looking to buy and hold.Not much growth potential long term so I would consider it a strict cashflow play.Start slow and small and you can always scale up once you learn the market.Or call it quits and exit if you decide it's not for you.IMO, leverage should only be used to scale a portfolio and only after you have immersed yourself enough in a specific market.And only once you have decided that you want to stick around in that specific market and invest in it long term.Over the years, I've witnessed many folks use leverage and attempt BRRRR out of state only to fall short and say "the market sucks and it doesn't work".Nothing works unless you make it work and a market like Toledo can work better than any other market I know from a cashflow perspective.I've been investing since 2014 and flipped hundreds along with currently managing 400 SFH.Only this year have I started buying small multifamily properties.It's an adjustment and a different animal but let's just say it's in the same breed of animal lolImmerse yourself in a specific market and become an "expert" on the numbers in that market.Find off market deals, negotiate hard, buy with cash and buy quickly.You make money when you buy and not when you sell so you must buy cheap.There are many ways to skin a cat mate and this is how I get my fur lolWishing you much success

(I think)Talked to some title companies and they say i can feed it to my wife, then do a cash out and pay the other heir.

Even though I re-plumbed some of the house, it was not worth the hassle to add a second water meter since a lot of the feeds were connected downstairs to up in different places and behind walls I didn't open.

I had clients in PHX with 4 plexs that went 100 % vacant stayed that way for over a year and clients owned 3 or 4 of them.. these were professional A plus borrowers but if there is no income there is a limit to how long you can feed this stuff..

Do you see the BS propaganda at play in this narrative being spoon feed to the public?

Since I have begun researching (kind of obsessively) all my social media feeds have been filled with these things you are describing (paper flips, slow flips, subtos, etc).
